Thomas Lifton,in the American Thinker, indulges in some speculation.  Alas, it is delicious.

Many on the left regard Rupert Murdoch, architect of the rise of Fox News Channel, as the anti-Christ. More accurately, Murdoch deserves the title of the anti-Pinch. Murdoch’s successful bid to take over Dow Jones & Company, publisher of Wall Street Journal, is a nightmare-come-true for Pinch Sulzberger, the hereditary occupant of the chairman of the board’s and publisher’s office at the New York Times.

Poor Pinch. Murdoch is everything that he is not. Conservative, smart, and wildly successful in the media business. As a result, Pinch faces serious challenges as a family member, business leader and corporate strategist

With or without the pressure of Rupert Murdock, Pinch Sulzberger is destroying the New York Times from within.  Just like poorly designed bridges, all rotten structures collapse from their own weight geven enough time.  Murdock will simply apply yet more pressure on Pinch’s rot.
