The publisher of the Miami Herald, The Kansas City Star and dozens of newspapers across the country is filing for bankruptcy protection.

The publisher's 30 local newsrooms will continue to operate as usual as McClatchy Co. reorganizes under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

The company's origins date to 1857 when it first began publishing a four-page paper in Sacramento, California, following the California Gold Rush. That paper became The Sacramento Bee.

Sacramento Bee was a constant screed of how horrible Trump and his deplorables are. Also the Bee is reaping what they have sown. Due to their support of open borders many Californians do not speak English and can not read the Sacramento Bee.

They could try practicing actual journalism rather than parrot DNC talking points, but what are the chances of that happening?

If I recall correctly, McClatchy didn’t allow any linking to FR. Maybe it was Gannett though.

The American press think that newspapers exist for them to publish their feelings.

“Sacramento Bee was a constant screed of how horrible Trump and his deplorables are. Also the Bee is reaping what they have sown. Due to their support of open borders many Californians do not speak English and can not read the Sacramento Bee”

Many if not most non minority grads from Kalifornia schools can’t read a newspaper and tell anyone what they read.

So for decades, the Bee and its bastard offspring have been turning off conservatives, who read their BS and said no more.

None, they aren’t staffed for that.

You should ask the Mods. There was some limitation.

It never impacted me. We lived in Sacramento in the early 70’s. Every family on our culdesac, except for one family of liberal profs at UC Davis cancelled their Bee subscriptions.

So it has been about 4 decades, since I soiled my hands trying to read the Bee and not throw up.
