Long-time Boston Globe readers were stunned today that the New York Times Co. is threatening to close the newspaper unless the newspaper's unions accept $20 million in concessions, possibly including pay cuts and the loss of company contributions to employees' pensions.

“What’s going on?” said one reader, Daniel Doyle, 70, who was clutching a small coffee and a doughnut outside of Verna’s Donuts in Cambridge.

The quicker the New Jerk Times closes its biased left-wing anti-American doors, the better off the country will be.

I think Julie Banderas, who anchors FOX News Sunday, has a gorgeous face, jet-black hair and dark eyes-of Colombian descent. It's hard to judge the rest of the female forms because their bods rarely get 'air time', if you know what I mean....they All are pretty hot. Whom do you like?

The Internet is going on. Who needs newspapers anymore?

Rupert Murdoch can say that people reading news for free on the web "has to stop," but we shall see.

Where's the union busting" part? The Globe lost $50 million last year and is currently projected to lose $90 million this year. It's owners are negotiating with the unions who work at the paper in order to find ways to cut costs to keep the paper in business. No one has suggested doing anything to "bust" the unions.

Sources yesterday described an heated and acrimonious mood in the meeting between representatives of 13 Globe unions and Times and Globe executives who presented the deadline threat. They spoke on condition of anonymity, citing the climate at the newspaper.

“They were crying poormouth,” a union member said, “saying there’s no advertising revenues. Of course there’s no revenue. They just fired about 50 advertising solicitors three months ago.”

One union official pointed out to the Globe brass that company managers received bonuses earlier this year. “That set them back,” a union source said.

Boston Newspaper Guild President Daniel Totten, who represents the paper’s largest union, issued a memo Friday to members saying the unions have already given up more than their fair share in recent years.

But newspaper analysts say the guild is likely to give in to management demands, which include proposals for pay cuts, the end of pension contributions and the elimination of lifetime job guarantees for longtime staffers.
