That is a good question. If one doesn't advertise on their website and only advertises in the fishwrap. Hits on the website doesn't do that advertiser any good.

[Grampa Dave]

You are probably right.

Of course Blue City Fishwraps are faced with a growing market of people who can't read due to the union teachers in those Blue Cities.

What is that line from Spinal Tap? "It's not that our audience is getting smaller, they are getting more selective." Something like that.

LOL

People in MD need to pick up a FREE Baltimore Examiner, a new paper in Maryland, and it's more conservative. The owners of the San Fransico Examiner own it.
They make all their money from advertizing.

What utter Enron type of BS this is.

Strickly speaking, if it was Enron-type accounting, The Sun would have created a partnership for it to sell papers to when they needed the subscription numbers to go up. :)

[pissant]

Absolutely. Though it's not worthy to be used as TP.

[Grampa Dave]

Jim, any comments about the Baltimore Sun?:)

The Examiner isn't helping either

"The Examiner isn't helping either"

Is that another Baltimore paper?

He must be fun to play golf with.

Giving himself mulligans and puts.

[Vision]

Yes, it's the new paper that is supposed to be right leaning. I don't know much about it but that it's free

I'm out of here for a few hours.

If I don't respond, I'm not being rude, just off line.

The Sun Papers are without a doubt, one of the worst major newspapers in the country.

[Ptaz]

I used to live in baltimore and I know most of the hotels and crabhouses use lots of newspapers.

The new Baltimore Examiner?
I like that paper, A) It's free, B) It is balanced, more conservative.

They have started counting the people who walk by the newsstands on the assumption that they probably take a peek at the headlines as they go.

The emperor has no clothes.

[Grampa Dave]

BOL: "They have started counting the people who walk by the newsstands on the assumption that they probably take a peek at the headlines as they go."

Or they are paying the check out clerks at grocery stores to say 100 people looked at the Sun's Headlines today in line #1.

[Grampa Dave]

This one sure has no clothes does he?

[Grampa Dave]

"The new Baltimore Examiner?

Thanks for the feedback. Why buy a Sun filled with liberal lies, spins and mantras when you can get a balanced paper for free.

I refused to read it, when we lived in DC area in after the Cuban Crisis.
