(2007-08-01) — In the wake of the takeover of the Wall Street Journal by Fox News mogul Rupert Murdoch, the publisher of the New York Times has asked the White House for a federal disaster declaration from President George Bush in order to rush funding to the former “newspaper of record.”
In the aftermath of the deal, newsrooms around the country fell into chaos, with many editors wondering aloud who will set the agenda for their news coverage in the coming days.
Indeed, the New York Times, already suffering from the general malaise in the industry, could be hardest hit.
White House spokesman Tony Snow said the president has scheduled a helicopter flyover of downtown New York City later today to survey the damage, and that he would give appropriate direction to the director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Jim Caery starred in a movie “Liar, Liar” some years ago, it’s long been one of my top ten favorites.
My wish, if I had such, would be that for one day nobody on earth (especially Wash. D.C.) would be able to tell a lie. I figure over half of marriages would cease. 70% of all business ‘deals’ would break up, 90 % od all churches would break up and disband and 98+% of Congress would be looking for jobs as burger flippers “You want fries with that?”, 99.99% of all first dates would be also a first and last date.
Wouldn’t it be a hoot? - I’m too old to bother lying, if your breath stinks, I’ll tell you, if your new dress makes you look like a fat streetwalker - I’ll tell you that too.
The takeover of the WSJ might not have happened with 100% honesty.

Well, congrats Scott. Rush Limbaugh must have read your piece because he is echoing your sentiment to the letter.
I know that here in Oklahoma, we have disaster areas declared after mighty winds. It seems that the NYT’s is requiring disaster relief from a bout of hot air.

Another great job, Scott. I actually found out about this site from reading “Best of the Web” on OpinionJournal.com (the editorial website of the WSJ — ironically, the link to their site is just to the right of my post) so I’ve been keeping an eye on the stories surrounding the sale. Your headline sounds like the kind of headline James Taranto would use.

I’d care if I lived in New York (maybe) but can’t see why anyone else would care a whit but then again in Phila we have a perfectly good paper (Philadelphia Inquirer™) that seems pretty fair and balanced for some reason. They publish articles and opinions on both sides of nearly any national )or even local) issue you can name.
That being said I don’t read the paper from anywhere else because I don’t care about house fires and car accidents and robberies in other places, we have plenty of our own (also covered in the papaer, of course) but I never did “get it” about the NY Times (or any other paper in any other town for that matter)

Can’t wait for the “troothers” to claim the Bush/Cheney/Rove/Halliburton/Exxon junta wired the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis with demolition charges.
More seriously, a lot of families are going to need prayer. A lot of cars were involved in the bridge collapse tragedy and it’s going to take authorities days to sort out how many cars were actually involved. I hear repair construction was going on at the time of the collapse, that may have possibly weakened the forty year old bridge.
Of course the lamestream media are circling the site like a bunch of salivating vultures. Wouldn’t be surprised if a couple more news helicopters run into each other in their feeding frenzy.
36 Ms RightWing, Ink // Aug 1, 2007 at 10:28 pm

I am all to familiar with the bridge and the campus area nearby from my Minnesota days. I could only stare in shock at what I saw on TV. It is still hard for me to grasp.
37 da Bunny // Aug 1, 2007 at 10:38 pm
That Minneapolis bridge collapse is tragic. Another sad day… Btw, Darthmeister, my husband heard that it was surface work only, and that the design of the bridge was to allow for surrounding sections to remain standing in the event of the failure of a section. As much of that bridge/roadway that collapsed, it looks somewhat suspicious. Hate to say it, but weren’t those “flying Imams” from the Minneapolis/St. Paul area? And, isn’t that where the Muslim cabbies at the airport refuse to take passengers with dogs or alcohol? Just wondering…
38 Effeminem // Aug 2, 2007 at 3:32 am
Wait… so are yall in favor of this deal?
I think it’s bad from a business perspective and ideologically.
On paper, to a lot of n00b CEOs and bystanders, increasing funding and sales and revenues is a good idea. Problem is, the WSJ has filled its target market. Increasing circulation more than a sukoshe will require changing the product to reflect the new, enlarged market. Newscorp has never been big on originality, and short of a stroke of unrivaled rebranding genius, there’s nowhere for the WSJ to go that other newspapers haven’t been. The newspaper market as a whole isn’t too hot anyway, thanks to Drudge and Scott.
Now, one effort that they’re 96% likely to make is to add ~200 personnel to convert the paper’s content to other formats, ie the WSJ Report or the Dow Channel or somesuch. Adding distribution channels and so forth will work, but it will still change the core content production somewhat over time.
The other compatibility problem between Newscorp and the Journal is that Newscorp regurgitates conservative talking points, while the Journal produces right wing propaganda. Not quite the same.

Effeminem, you need to get your decoder ring updated! But when in doubt, just listen to Rush Limbaugh to get your marching orders since we’re all mind-numbed robots getting our secret instructions directly from Karl Rove through coded messages from Rush. But no one has been able to figure out if Bush is just a sockpuppet for the eeeevil Dick Cheney who in turn is doing the bidding of international Joooooooish bankers and the Trilateral Commission or if the “moronic preppie boy” Bush is calling his own shots.

I have been thinking all night about the bridge collapse in Minneapolis. I understand the problem was not near the magnitude of New Orleans, but still you see the resiliency of Minnesotans.
When I lived there, never was there a disaster that volunteers by the boatload would show up to help their fellow man.
In the years since Minneapolis has been taken away from the Scandinavian roots and been replaced with Hmong and Mid Eastern populations but still, people were there in a New York second to help, not to loot the victims.
That is all I have to say for now-what a difference a thousand miles make. Could it be in a rough climate there is no big easy
43 JamesonLewis3rd // Aug 2, 2007 at 8:17 am
As a child I had a recurring nightmare involving collapsing bridges; it would awaken me filled with a dreadful, pulse-pounding horror that would stay with me in my waking hours for days-I’m still borderline phobic with white-knuckle/purse-lipped/bug-eyed/can’t breath bridgephobic symptoms (which my wife finds quite comic).
Yesterday evening’s news kind of freaked me out.
That spare cash that’s laying around getting funneled off for various useless porcine projects should have already had that bridge (and every other one in The United States of America) in 100% primo condition. There is no excuse for such ineptitude. None.
44 Shelly // Aug 2, 2007 at 8:22 am
Darth, don’t forget the simple minded “W,” who is a puppet for Rove/Cheney, also managed to “trick” the Dems into supporting the Iraq war, before they decided to back the enemy instead of the troops.
Don’t miss Ann’s column this week folks, trust me. She aptly points out the one true love of Democrats - government. Seems timely when they want to call families of four earning $80,000+ poor and 25 year-olds children, in order to expand government provided health care - all in the name of helping the poor children! And their fix for Social Security? Start paying people at 55. Yeah, that should stop it from going bankrupt. It will give them what they want most - more glorious government involvement in more people’s lives. What could be better?
My prayers are with the people of Minnesota. Though, speaking of government, that state’s government apparently noticed problems with this bridge back in 2004. Unfortunately, it looks like they addressed those issues with the speed government usually works at.
45 conserve-a-tips // Aug 2, 2007 at 8:33 am
James, I understand your fear. We have to go across the bridge that collapsed several years ago here in Oklahoma (my parents had just crossed it hours earlier before it collapsed) everytime we head to Tennessee and then we have to cross that monstrosity of a bridge at Memphis across the Mississippi. I hate going across them. I just hold my breath.
I suppose it beats the horrible little, rickety ferry that we used to have to take at Cairo to get across that great river, when I was a girl. I remember Dad driving the Rambler station wagon down, down a steep, muddy incline to drive onto this flat-bottomed ferry with welded pipe bolted around the sides for “railing”. I can’t remember if it held two or four vehicles, but it would chug, chug across the river while we gritted our teeth and prayed for the other side to come up fast. I hated that part of the trip.
I can’t imagine what those poor people have gone through. I remember the horror here at the time I-40 collapsed over the Arkansas, but there were many, many more cars on the Minnesota bridge. It just makes you want to stay home.

Security cam video of Minneapolis bridge collapse here.
I used to live in Mound, MN back in 1980-82 which is on the southwest side of Minneapolis/St. Paul. It’s where the Minnetonka toy factory and later just the headquarters were located. Though I wasn’t doing most of my traveling in that particularly area of the Twin Cities where I-35 is located, I must have traveled that bridge at least thirty times while we lived there. I believe the number we’re seeing today of seven killed must be the official count. Clearly that number will rise as cars are brought up to the surface and removed from the debris. Truly sad and quite shocking that such a catastrophic failure like that can occur on the nation’s interstate with all the inspections regimens and repair work.
47 Darthmeister // Aug 2, 2007 at 9:00 am
JL3rd,
My recurring nightmare was being at the top of the then new (1965 I think) Galveston Bay bridge (it’s one of those bridges that have an extremely high middle span to allow ship traffic underneath it - very, very large ships) and then being stalled in traffic while a tornado coming from the direction of Texas City to the northeast would turn into a waterspout and writhe its way across the bay toward the bridge. Mercifully the dream would end when the waterspout was about a half-a-mile away.
The other recurring nightmare I had was standing in the backyard of our small rural Texas town - which was located about thirty miles southeast of Houston - and watching a thermonuclear warhead detonate over Houston, sending a huge mushroom cloud up on the horizon. I could feel the ground move and hear a low rumble pulsing across the landscape and then the dream would end. This nightmare covered the years 1961-63 when there was a lot of talk about duck-and-cover and nuclear bomb shelters followed by the Cuban missile crisis.
I always found solace in the sonic booms of that day when American military jets would leave their contrails high overhead as they patrolled the skies. In my youth I believed those military jets were the only things keeping the Soviet bombers and missiles at bay. My parents weren’t particularly paranoid but it was the stuff I was picking up in bits and pieces from the evening news. Even in those days the media was dangermongers.

I remember the chilling news in 1967 when the bridge across the Ohio River collapsed. It was so close to Christmas and it just ripped my heart out. Maybe because it was so close to home but we only knew what we saw on the news-no 24 hour live coverage in those days. I hope the picture of the “good” Silver bridge come up.
From the Internet:
The Silver Bridge was an eyebar chain suspension bridge built in 1928 and was named for the color of its aluminum paint. The bridge connected Point Pleasant, West Virginia and Kanauga, Ohio (near Gallipolis, Ohio) over the Ohio River.
The collapsed Silver Bridge, as seen from the Ohio sideOn December 15, 1967, the Silver Bridge collapsed while it was choked with rush hour traffic, resulting in the deaths of 46 people. Investigation of the wreckage pointed to the cause of the collapse being the failure, due to a small defect, of a single eye-bar in a suspension chain. It was also noted that the bridge was carrying much heavier loads than it was originally designed for and was poorly maintained.
