If the newspapers were not so leftist, they might be able to make a profit.

They are fortunate. The paper here is an anti-Trump, liberal rag. I won’t get it even for the coupons on Sundays. Now if we could just make the local news channels go bust.

Printed newspapers have shrunk in size and gone way up in price on the newsstand, from what I’ve seen.

Maybe printed newspapers will be obsolete.

Decades ago, many cities had multiple newspapers, both morning and evening papers.

Decades ago, there were many magazine is such as Look and Life and Collier’s and Saturday evening post, which simply went under because of a changing marketplace.

Daily printed newspapers may well go away or cut back to Sundays only eventually, as times and technology are changing.

Good. These things are useless except for coupons.

“We’re very sorry the company has made this decision. We’re very sorry for the people who cherish having print newspapers seven days a week,”

Same folks who probably yell “Save the trees!”

“We’re very sorry for the people who cherish having print newspapers seven days a week, and there’s a lot of people like that,” a disappointed Fuoco wrote. “I know that it’s a difficult time for newspapers, but I think that the Blocks need to also recognize that there’s a public trust and a public responsibility that they have by owning a newspaper that’s been in existence for 231 years,” he added. “I would hate to think that they’re abandoning that legacy.””

No, the Blocks just took a look in their wallets and decided their “philanthropy” needed to end. Unlike the government, a private business can’t run on “other people’s money!” I guess “the people who cherish having a print newspaper” don’t “cherish it” enough to pay to get it. Fuoco (wonder if he’s related to Joey Buttafuoco of Long Island Lolita fame) is a union hack who sees the end of his free ride. His disappointment is rooted in the end of his paychecks.

The Post-Gazette’s editorial employee union president Mike Fuoco slammed the decision to cut back daily print edition of the paper, suggesting the move would be a breach of “public trust.”

Well, then let the union buy the paper from the Block company and try to make a go of it themselves ...

Very shortly: “I’m sorry, did you say you were a pressman? What’s that?”

Adapt or die.

Was this paper one of the ones that criticized
Trump in lockstep with others about a week or so ago?

Trump curse!

I wonder whether the diminishing education system produced a population that cannot read, or whether the gospel of liberal politics so bent the population that they cannot find their way out of the hole, or whether their racist city bureaucrats bankrupted the city, or whether too much time on the dole took away the will to work or earn a living so they could afford a newspaper.
