Are people sick of Krugman and Co.?

New York Times Company stock fell about 22 percent Thursday after the company released weaker than expected earnings. Stocks of other companies that own newspapers dropped too: Gannett Co. was down a little more than 5 percent, and News Corp., Media General and Lee Enterprises were down as well. McClatchy, which also released earnings Thursday, finished unchanged. The Dow closed up .2 percent.

The New York Times was expected to report earnings of 8 cents per share but instead reported a 1 cent loss per share, according to analyst Mark Vickery blogging on NASDAQ.com.

No doubt that is a factor, but it says later in the article their digital ratings are down as well.

The paper has been plagued with controversy recently, I think it has to do more with content.
