6. If they have to stop the press and reset the page, it costs money

I don't believe they'd do this just to see if they can get away with it. Most newspapers are hanging on by their fingernails already, they don't need extra costs thrown in.

9. Headline flawed because management and some employees crooked.

I'd bet good money they were trying to defuse reaction against Trump a bit.

We'd cancel but we already did a long time ago. NYT has a multiply proven and well documented record of sabotaging Democratic candidates, especially their 2-year "genteel" hatchet job on Hillary, and helping elect Trump to help Republicans.

12. If the paper is good, it is worth people to pay for a subscription.

Many important things in life are not free, they come about only because money was spent of employees, equipment, ect.

As far as the New York Times goes, management there has been bending over backwards to kiss Trump's ass. I say good riddance to the paper until everyone in management and the editorial board are fired.
