St. Pete Times subscriptions are down 11,000 while the Tampa Tribune is down 135 or so. Those folks aren't coming back either to the Times.

Oh, this is ridiculous. Why do you persist in posting these half-truths and outright falsehoods? Why not tell the whole truth--that the latest release of circulation figures (from the Audit Bureau of Circulations) shows that the St. Pete Times is now the largest daily and Sunday newspaper in the state of Florida, having recently eclipsed the Miami Herald in Sunday circulation figures (the SPT was already the largest circulation daily)? And that, while it is true that the Tampa Trib experienced the lowest circulation decline among the 7 largest newspapers in Florida, that "victory" meant that the Tampa Trib maintained its position as the fifth largest circulation newspaper in Florida? Or that the St. Pete Times has a daily circulation which is 41.3% (almost 99,000 subscribers) and a Sunday circulation which is 37% (116,800+ subscribers) higher than the Tampa Trib? Why say that "the Tampa Tribune is down 135 or so" when the fact is that (according to the report from the Audit Bureau of Circulation) the Tampa Trib is "down" 239 subscribers daily, and 325 on Sunday (this is simple arithmetic that a 4th grader could manage)?

Or, better yet, why not simply post a link to the actual source for those numbers? Why play these silly games? This is nothing but half-baked posturing and intellectual dishonesty, and no one (except you?) is served by such nonsense.

Here's the link to the article: Circulation Drops at State's Biggest Papers.

Nnitpicking. I don't read the Times. I got my info from the Tribune. Down by 11,000 subscriptions over at the Times. Sorry you are so upset about the paper who shilled for Greer losing subscribers.

That was not a lie.

Multiply the 11,000 subscriptions they no longer have times the price of a subscription. They love killer George over there. The more awards he gets, the guiltier he is. The more the Time tries to build up this big man who started an innocent woman to death, the worse he looks. He's the most hated man in America imo. Poor big man, kills an innocent woman and it was an incredible journey for him. He needs to take a long walk off a short pier.

The St. Pete Times supports alleged terrorist Al Arian and domestic terrorist George Greer.

Bill O' Reilly of The Factor was dissing the St. Pete Times this evening for their left leaning bias. Hiding in the Republican party is not going to work for leftist Greer forever.
