because they are the repected NewsPrint mouthpieces (WaPo too) of the corporate controled MSM in the US. They can never "go bust". They are a "loss leaders" in the greater propaganda game.
I have a Paper sub to the WaPost...it gets delivered to my driveway 7 days a week + web access. When they send me a renewal notice the bill is for $700+ for 52 weeks. They ultimately renew for $150-$160 for 52 wks. It's more impt that they have a chance to influence my thinking.
They are not businesses they are "organs of the establishment"

Q1 '16 - when the Fed stops paying attention to oil

This week's negative interest rate move was a very modest first step affecting a minimum amount of reserves - for much of the last decades of Japan's stagnation the monetary and fiscal authorities have wasted opportunities (e.g., the concern w/ sterilization) while competitors (e.g., S. Korea) have forged ahead - in the past few years China has loomed larger as competitor and customer but recent moves by China to weaken its currency (as part of a larger plan) has pushed Japan to try the new trick pony -- the infection was allegedly picked up at Davos
Further moves by Japan down the negative interest path are likely and if the Yen is a target then direct intervention at some point is possible, especially if the neighbors keep the pressure on their currencies
USD/JPY can recover as fast as it fell and 130 in Q2 is on the radar
