“And the major city newspaper (the Denver Post), is about a third of its former self.”
or less. the DP is unbelievably pathetic now as a newspaper ... not only uber-leftist, but otherwise filled with wire-service excrement ... the other papers in the smaller cities are mostly owned by the same outfit as the DP, and everyone of them contains pretty much as the exact same crap as the others ... there’s almost no actual local news now in any of them ... it’s surprising that any are still in business ... no one over the age of 40 buys a newspaper, so i imagine they’re all in death spirals as their current subscribership ages and dies off ... certainly almost no one advertises in them any more ... occasionally i pick up a free one or the other at those sales pitch tables located in King Soopers and analyze the content, both ads and “news” ... ...
I am cheering on its demise which will eventually come, no doubt.
BTW, it is because of the DP that I started to question Democrat policies and beliefs and the party. You can say that they turned me conservative... so many years ago. Actually, I was always conservative but didn't know it. Thank you DP for opening my eyes!
