They started on a hate Trump agenda with covers showing Trump in clown makeup and stories calling Trump a clown.
Sounds to me like the cause of death was suicide.
Sold for a dollar?
It was over priced..................
“He broke us”
I said the SAME thing years ago about Linda Stasi’s lack of qualifications to write what she wrote and, at the same time, I totally trashed Lupica. He has no business writing about anything but sports. All he ever writes about is whatever libtard issue of the moment is wonderful, and any attempts to uphold the law (deport illegals, whatever Trump wants to do, whatever is not on the commie/libtard agenda) is bad. He is a moron working at a pay grade WAAAAY over his head or abilities.
During the Vietnam debacle. The Daily News was a conservative tabloid (old definition of Tabloid determined by the size of the paper). The other conservative NY Paper was the Journal American which folded in 1966.
It is now an almost Marxist propaganda sheet.
The Daily News was a tabloid. Tabloids play to the working class. But as the Dems became a leftist elite, they no longer spoke the same language.
It was an attitude problem, and the attitude was that if the working class didn't like it they'd be made to like through sheer repetition. Didn't work.
The previous editor, Jim Rich, had been resisting pressure from management to soften the Trump covers, people familiar with the matter said. He was told they were diminishing an already much diminished print subscriber base, these people said, particularly among blue-collar readers in certain corners of New York’s outer boroughs, where Trump’s nationalistic populism apparently resonates in a way that is anathema to the city’s cosmopolitan districts and immigrant enclaves...
That they didn't know that is suspect - few industries other than newspapers have their finger so directly on the pulse of the public, or so we are told. I don't think they didn't know, I think they didn't care. And so...
The Daily News had no base left. Its hate covers were popular with progs who didn't buy or read the paper. And so here we are.
And they are not. Best of luck with the new gig, guys. I understand free ads are the way to go these days...
Where will Shaun King publish his diatribes now???
Their complete downfall truly was going after Trump, unceasingly!
He’s got a few more papers out there to kill along with a whole bunch of networks.
Sounds as it was more like the New York Daily Spews.
The rhetoric coming out of the Left simply doesn’t match the more or less mild-mannered Trump.
They did their best to demonize him, and by so doing made him look more tame by comparison.
They may have been their own worst enemies. If they had stuck to reason and sound differing opinions, they may have had more traction.
Adios SpewsHounds...
To quote Egon Spangler “ (news)...Print Is Dead”.
It’s the Internet for old people and Luddites.
Go for the throat!
Tough year for Lupica: first ESPN canceled The Sports Reporters, then The Daily News gets bought. Boo hoo....
Yes, that is my recollection.
Back in the 50s my family subscribed to the Long Island Daily Press (long ago defunct) and the New York Daily News (now defunct). We were a blue collar family.
My Dad liked the Press because he commuted to Nassau County, while Mom liked the News. As a kid I liked both because they had good comics, especially on Sundays. :-)

They should have gotten a $1.05 back in change. They got ripped off.
SPOT ON!
Once upon a time, NYC had many, many, many different newspapers; morning AND evening ones. When I was little, we had so many different newspapers, especially on Sunday's, that it was a day to just read papers, after Church.
Now NYC has just two newspapers and the N.Y. Time is on its last legs.
I wonder what Dondi is up to nowadays.
