Employees of Obama donor Leo Hindery Jr.’s media conglomerate Intermedia Partners, which now owns most of the top gun-culture media outlets in the country, believe that Hindery plans to gut and destroy all of them as part of a business plan that has already led to numerous layoffs and the virtual shuttering of prominent television production facilities in Minnesota and Montana.
Hindery, who was in consideration to be President Barack Obama’s secretary of commerce, is managing partner of Intermedia Partners. The New York-based media private equity fund owns Intermedia Outdoor Holdings, which publishes 17 hunting, fishing, and shooting magazines, including Guns & Ammo, Handguns, Gun Dog, Rifle Shooter and Shooting Times.
it the “outdoor channel” the same thing as the sportsmen channel?.....I’ll drop that in a heartbeat...
For a Democrapic “financial donor”, poor, ickle collectivist seems not to understand the world in which he lives. Why invest in something being replaced by technology?
I grew up reading outdoor magazines and hunting and fishing magazines. Now, with the Internet, I only read such magazines while waiting at the dentist, and sometimes I find the articles as distasteful as the needle I know is waiting for me behind the doors of said dentist’s office.
With the advent of the Internet forum, a vast array of data is available, and often it is a two way source with rapid feedback.
Whether I need data about how to fix an early AMT .380 for a friend who found his little pocket gun to have developed the distressing habit or requiring the trigger to be pulled forward before it would fire the next round, or a 1994 F350 A/C system with an irregular shutdown issue - the data to deal with just about anything is on the net and free. Did I remember to say net data IS FREE! ! !
Why pay for out of date data, without feedback capability, and with no ability to expand further on any part of that magazine article?
Let me use vehicle repair as an example. A Chilton’s manual is a pitifully limited resource when dealing with most vehicle issues. Use the 2005 Safari AWD van as an example, virtually any aspect of repair or modification(and there is a small industry serving that interest) is available at Astro/Safari.com AND the data is far more detailed, and supported by images too expensive to print in a Chilton’s type service book.
IMHO, the Democrap who bought those gun magazines is going to see happening to that investment what happened to newspapers.
Got extinction? Newspaper owners do, and the Democrap under discussion just bought lots of it, too.
;-)
Thanks for posting the info about his magazines and TV channels. As a “newbie”, I’ve been skimming those for info while at the local Walmart and have bought a few. I’ll have to be more alert in the future.
Do I remember correctly that there was an outrage a few months back when the Guns & Ammo came out with an editorial in favor of gun control or gun registration (same thing really)? If so, this explains why.
Thanks again.
