The New York Times, one of President Trump’s favorite targets for criticism, reported $24 million in profit in the second quarter of 2018 thanks to an increase in digital subscriptions.
The news outlet announced Wednesday that it added 109,000 digital-only subscribers from April-June, amounting to $99 million in revenue. That money helped offset a decline in print advertising, the company said.
Total revenue for The New York Times increased about 2 percent compared with the first quarter of 2018.
The news outlet boasts 2.9 million digital-only subscribers and 3.8 million total subscribers, it said. – READ MORE
[divider][/divider]Donald Trump Jr. Reacted To The New York Times’ Decision To Stand By The Hire Of Journalist Sarah Jeong To Their Editorial Board, Despite Her Racist Remarks On Twitter.
“The New York Times is hiring a person of like mind,” Trump Jr. said in an interview with Breitbart News Washington Political Editor Matthew Boyle on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Saturday on Patriot Channel 125. “This is a person that probably thinks exactly like them.”
Jeong routinely trashed white people and white men on her Twitter account, calling them “dumbass fucking white people” and sharing the hashtag #cancelwhitepeople.
The New York Times issued a statement standing by their hire, despite her controversial remarks on Twitter.
Trump Jr. pointed to the double-standard demonstrated by the left by allowing Jeong to be racist because she was Asian and sharing hatred for white people and police officers.
“Imagine she said the same thing about Hispanics, imagine she said that same thing about black people, people would be losing their minds, it would be outrage … it’s no different than any other form of racism,” he said.
Trump Jr. said that the left would continue to double down on their double standards that would not square with the American people.
“It’s ridiculous, it makes no sense to any rational person,” he said. “This is a narrative that the far left will push, and that’s ok and they’ll continue those attacks, and, again, I’m happy to let them keep doing that.” – READ MORE
