His conclusion is that the company&#8217;s reports are slickly designed to conceal what may be double digit declines in print revenue. Carp remarks:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Honestly, I can\u2019t really blame NYTCO or other newspapers for hiding the details on their bad news. If I were in their position, I\u2019d be very tempted to do the same.
