If she had gotten elected we’d be handing out big taxpayer subsidies to dead-tree newspapers.

They should support the buggy whip industry as well. They’re heavy contributors to the DNC.

Only slightly smarter than Jeb.
Jeb was dumb enough to fall for the Clinton Story.
No one reads newspapers anymore.

Thank you President Trump from sparing us from this kind of economic nonsense policy that we would have been subjected to.

I am probably going to do a weekend-only subscription to the Houston Chronicle for a couple of months. Fewer stores have a newspaper racks any more these days, and I need the newsprint to start my charcoal.

I used to be a daily reader of two newspapers. I loved the Sunday papers. The last time I read a newspaper, some years ago, I was totally put off by the experience. It was on cheap paper. It was smaller than newspapers of the past, so I found it awkward to hold. My hands were just not far enough apart. It had more ads than news. The news stories I read were poorly-written. I’ll pass.
