The old ways will be just fine, thanks.

The New York Times has launched an experimental network of websites providing local community news and information for residents of neighborhoods in New York and New Jersey.

The newspaper said the online project, dubbed "The Local," is "part of an exploration by The Times of ways to extend its journalistic values to serve and engage audiences in new ways."

You can't even cover the biggest mass murder in American history that occurred just down the street. And now you want to try your hand at reporting on stuff going on in New Jersey?

Aren't you out of business yet? When can we finally bury that snaggle-toothed old crone?

Get lost. You're just stinking up the place. You're absorbing ad revenue that could be going to news organizations.

Good riddance. Fakes.
