Is the New York Times trying to ruin the Olympics?

Wed, 08/20/2008 - 12:37pm

Just asking. Because it's really annoying that nearly every time I hit the NYT homepage, the paper has an above-the-fold picture giving away that evening's big events. Would it kill the Gray Lady to tuck its Olympics coverage somewhere out of sight, so that people who actually want to enjoy the games can do so in peace?

It's a business

No way is the NYT going to undercut its own sales to accommodate the competing teevee business. I'd call it a very smart business decision on their part.

Just because NBC is

Just because NBC is pretending that the Olympic Games only take place during prime time doesn't mean they are.
