The article says that the NY Times acquired About.com, and that's a real shame.

About.com is a pretty good source of info.  It's a shame that it'll now be run/controlled by lib wackos at the NY Times.

I freaking hate about.com.  Half-hearted content wrapped in a shoddy interface and surrounded by more ads than you can shake a stick at.

Well I'm just all broken up about this.

Maybe they should branch out into the food service industry. I've always thought the NY Times was good for wrapping fish Cheesy

I hope I live to see the day when that rag goes out of business. . . I can see the headline now, (In the NY Times of course):

"Times Corp to close down. . . .blacks, women, poor hurt most. ."
