"Arthur 'Pinch' Sulzberger, Jr.,"

"who has presided over the Times' decline like a demented ship's captain
who rams a shoal of rocks and then turns around and does it all over again. As he made clear in his SUNY-New Paltz commencement speech (here), he imagines himself a crusading journalist-hero. He's actually another self-absorbed Baby Boomer who cannot imagine the validity of anything not remade in his own image and pandering to his own values. I will be amazed if the New York Times survives another five years in its present form. Surely it will be sold, revamped, or otherwise rescued. In the afterlife, Sulzberger will have to answer to his annoyed nineteenth-century ancestors, who may well ask what the hell went wrong with the family seed." --LFM Review: Page One, The New York Times & Modern Media Bias » LFM: Libertas Film Magazine

Or, as we call him en la Frontera, pinche Sulzbeger.

"I will be amazed if the New York Times survives another five years in its present form."

There goes the bottom line for American fishmongers.
