A journalistic barnacle
On line at a popular Bethesda out-of-town newsagent this morning, I saw the man in front of me inquire as to whether he could still get a free Washington Times with his purchase of a New York Times. He could, and he got both Timeses for $1.05.
Since the New York Times is owned by NYT Co. and the Washington Times is owned by a bizarre cult, this is not a marketing ploy by the papers.
Quite simply, they're having trouble giving away copies of the Washington Times. This isn't new either - they've been doing this at some area 7-11s for months.
