The New York Times CEO Warns Publishers Ahead of Apple News Launch (reuters.com)

An anonymous reader shares a report: Apple is expected to launch an ambitious new entertainment and paid digital news service on Monday, as the iPhone maker pushes back against streaming video leader Netflix. But it likely will not feature the New York Times. Mark Thompson, chief executive of the biggest U.S. newspaper by subscribers, warned that relying on third-party distribution can be dangerous for publishers who risk losing control over their own product. "We tend to be quite leery about the idea of almost habituating people to find our journalism somewhere else," he told Reuters in an interview on Thursday. "We're also generically worried about our journalism being scrambled in a kind of Magimix (blender) with everyone else's journalism."

owned by the Rothschild

[Chissblue]

Reuters and the Associated Press are owned by the Rothschild ... The House of Rothschild bought Reuters news service in the 1800's. Within the last 20 years, Reuters bought the Associated Press. Now the Elite own the two largest wire services in the world, where most newspapers get their news.

[Can'tNot]

The Associated Press is a nonprofit business cooperative. It can't be owned by any one company or person.

I don't believe that Reuters is owned by anyone in the Rothschild family, but it is at least a private organization which could, potentially, be owned by someone. Maybe there's a Rothschild somewhere who owns some stock or something.

Your claims are dumb.

Every New York Times article you cite is an op-ed. If you're not mentally savvy enough to differentiate between opinion/editorial and journalism, you're probably better off putting down the newspaper and drooling to Fox News.
