Owner of Boston Globe Is Having Serious Troubles in New York City
            The "We-Love-Homosexual-Marriage-in-Massachusetts-As-Long-as-We- Continue-to-Reap-Our-Billions-of-Dollars-in-Profits-Every-Year" Sulzberger family is having serious problems with the Chairman of The New York Times Company, Pinch Sulzberger (Arthur O. Sulzberger, Jr.). 
            All of New York City  is agog with stories about how long Pinch Sulzberger will last. He's the Sulzberger who was made Chairman in 1997 with the avowed goal of using The Company to install gay marriage everywhere in the nation, beginning with its captive audience in Massachusetts. (The Company owns the Boston Globe, Worcester Telegram and other media in this state and controls the Associated Press across the nation, including Massachusetts.)
            All of the 12 cousins of Pinch know he is a little "strange." They opposed his appointment by his father, Punch (Arthur O. Sulzberger, Sr.) but they've continued with him throughout the Jayson Blair scandal so long as The Company was still making money.
            The family is surpassing Bill Gates as the richest in America, but Gates does not begin to compare with them in power. With their worldwide media empire, they are insurmountable.
            Some are even wondering about their possible connection with the unseen power which has just made Speaker Sal DiMasi the fifth Democratic leader in the state to commit political suicide since Senator Tom Birmingham did so in 2002, in order to help gay marriage.

What Will the Pinch Sulzberger Scandal do to "The Company"?
            One of the many stories about Pinch Sulzberger was revealed in this week's New Yorker magazine. It tells about a lunch with Secretary of State Condi Rice and the editorial department where Pinch kept alluding to the fact that a bomb-sniffing dog had recently thrown up on the carpet in the Times conference room. "Thank you for sharing that," said Rice. The reporters at the lunch are reported to have "cringed."
            That story about Pinch demonstrates that he "seems to lack the weighty seriousness of his predecessors," says the New Yorker. His stabs at humor "sometimes strike people as immature or sarcastic."
            A story about the New Yorker article was published in yesterday's New York Daily News.   
            It reported that "sources" told the New Yorker that Sulzberger's most trusted employee, Times CEO Janet Robinson, discourages staffers from revealing to Pinch what they think. Pinch is said to have confided to friends that Executive Editor Bill Keller wasn't leveling with him. "We started out without much of a relationship at all and a certain wariness of each other," Keller admitted to the New Yorker.
            The article quoted a "family friend" asking, "Is Arthur going to get fired?" It notes that the New York Times remains arguably "the world's finest newspaper," and the only one that generates more than $1 billion a year in advertising income (from just that one newspaper). However, says the New Yorker article: "within the newsroom, there is a sense of rudderlessness and a fear that a series of business misjudgments may so weaken the company's finances that the brilliance of The Times … will be at serious risk."
            Says a close cousin Dan Cohen, who is no longer with the Times: "The family rallies around Arthur in times like this." That is another way of saying what MassNews has been saying for the last year: that although the twelve cousins of Pinch did not want him to become Chairman of The New York Times Company, they will stay quiet as long as the Company is generating billions of dollars in profits every year for them.
