  1. Why only 24. Hours,? should be 24 years, so we will have a clean and quiet
    Fake- news-free 24 years, they should get paid for lying All the time?

  2. NYT is currently the most trustworthy source of information in the industry.

  3. hello nbcnews, the strike seems to be parallel to feelings of online reading is much higher than selling paper copies. the 10 a month for online. the waiting of paper when night before 9pm article is online. e for newsstand strike

  4. Honestly NYT deserves this for exploiting their workers. Using them to make money from their conspiracy theories and agenda. So I’m not surprised that it backfired. A capitalist company that employs socialist workers 😂😂😂.

  5. So you mean to tell me that they want better salaries because inflation is an actual thing. Despite writing thousands of articles on why the economy is “Booming” and “Inflation is non existent”. woke is asleep 💀.

  6. Fire them all, especially the security guards working for the law enforcement hating New York Times.

  7. Bidenflation just got real. Congress better step in.

  8. When you are not paying enough to your employees, is it considered force labour

  9. If these strikers had any integrity they would resign on principal and get jobs with honorable intentions that do not promote the Marxist agenda.

  10. Members of the MSM are traitors to their countrymen. Let them lose their jobs; we would all be better off.

  11. I wonder if Liberal Economist and Times writer Paul Krugman is also supporting this strike: its a good question because we are testing the principles that one espouses, against a possible course of action (like a strike) that would put him temporarily out of work. Or is he like other hypocrites that when it comes crunch time, they cave to immediate economic and "ego" necessities and principles go out the window!

  12. Oh no! Whatever will we do without a day of fake news?

  13. 40 hour work week doesn't make sense anymore if you can't make a living wage. 25 hours weekly world be full time with full-time pay. Companies have a choice to either pay workers more money or require less hours for that wage.

  14. Oh no! Another liberal rag people use to line birdcages won’t be publishing for awhile. 🤦‍♂️

  15. Thugs and fake news manufacturers. No sympathy whatsoever.

  16. Why should fake news pay thair puppets more just lie to the employees and ignore them like they do the public . 😂😂😂😂

  17. More layoffs coming to cnn and other fake news 📰
