This title is misleading, the article starts: "U.S. newspapers lost $10 in print advertising revenue last year for every $1 they gained online, a deeper loss than in 2010, as competition from Internet companies increases, a study by Pew Research Center found." Losing $10 of revenue is different then losing $10.

When acquired, the Huffington Post enjoyed margins around 30% [1] versus the New York Times's 9-10% [2]. Deflating based on this datapoint alone implies a profit differential of 3:1 versus 10:1.

Not to mention the "dollars dollars" redundancy that made my left eye twitch.

No, that's your potassium deficiency. Eat a banana.
