The Daily News Was Superman’s Paper—Tronc Fed It Kryptonite
Daily Beast ^

Posted on 07/23/2018 7:10:16 PM PDT by bryan999

By noon on Monday, Bavaria Bierhaus, a downtown bar on Stone Street, a short walk from the offices of the New York Daily News at 4 New York Plaza, was already filling up with day-drinkers who had just been fired from the century-old tabloid, along with a few colleagues who have managed—at least for the moment—to hold onto their jobs.

“It’s all a blur right now,” said a staffer who narrowly avoided being axed in what colleagues variously described as “a massacre” and “a bloodbath.”

““The thing is that these Tronc dummies don’t realize they are killing a valuable brand.”

right ... so valuable that Mort sold it to Tronc for $1.00!

“50% better ... or 50% worse?”

bound to be 50% better since it was 100% virulently anti-Trump 100% of the time ...

“This paper went on a lunatic rampage against Trump like nothing I’ve ever seen. Utter madness Day after day.”

yeah, Mort ran it into the ground doing that and was lucky to get $1 for it when he sold it to Tronc.

#2. Please don’t confuse the writer/headline writer with FACTS. It’s against the old NY Daily News policy on reporting accurately.

The Daily News has become so violently anti-Trump - on its cover every day, this is not a surprise, even in liberal NYC.

The Post, while it leans to the right, does not wear its politics on every page. Decent business section, great sports, and on Sundays, terrific expanded articles.

Post deserves to live. NY Daily News deserves what is coming.

Sorry for the workers. Hopefully they can quickly find a job in mainstream media; they should be liberal enough!

Superman was an illegal alien working under an alias for the mainstream media.

Superman was a foundling, and as such would be considered a U.S. citizen. If he weren't a fictional character of course.

Per federal law, 8 U.S.C Sec. 1401 grants automatic citizenship to: "a person of unknown parentage found in the United States while under the age of five years, until shown, prior to his attaining the age of twenty-one years, not to have been born in the United States"

This is tragic.

If we can’t get the number from Ching Chow, how can we play?
