...because she was unauthorized by the company to talk to the news media

What are they going to do... fire her?

People likely pay Craigslist to be at the top of any searchlist that people type in.

Not true....

You just need to delete the first ad you put in and then re-insert it....goes to the top of the list again.

I love it how the open source people have contributed the most to the financial destruction of liberal enterprises.

Free classifieds leading to the demise of newspapers. MOOC's leading to the demise of universities. Napster, etc. undermining the music industry.

Maybe there's hope after all that the liberals will self-destruct before they completely remake society in their depraved image.

Grudge-based hopes have a way of boomeranging on you, because they poison your worldview.

I have no grudge with liberals. They are doing what they believe is the best thing for society. They happen to be wrong.

My hopes are more Drudge-based than Grudge-based. ;-)

You get all cute to avoid a look in the mirror, chum.

Deadtree Media was doomed as soon as the internet caught on.

The lost and found section in CL has helped a lot of people get reunited with their pets over the years. It’s actually a pretty good thing in the more rural areas.

I’ve done a fair amount of selling used technology on CL from time to time and found people as a rule here in SC fairly good to deal with.

Every so often I browse for sale in my state and Charlotte to see if there is something out there.

I’ve tried selling an old Blazer (bucket of bolts) on Ebay a few times. Either no sales or deadbeat bidders. I may try again on CL. The main reason I have been hesitant is that I don’t like people that I don’t know poking around close to home or offsite storage.

Craigslist is eating their lunch.

In Canada, it's Kijiji that doing the lunch eating and it isn't just PennySaver and the want ads in newspapers. A few months ago I was looking for a new truck and I was amazed that for every ad for cars and trucks in AutoTrader, Kijiji had about 5. It would seem clear as to who is going to be hanging out the next 'Going out of business' sign.

Penny saver was a dollar loser

The realization came when they couldn’t meet the payroll

given that craiglist has used the “peace symbol” aka the ban the bomb symbol, as their logo for years it doesn’t appear that craigslist is owned by a “consrvative”...

The PennySaver also operated in Rochester, NY, as far back as the 1960s or 1970s.
