USA Today publisher Gannett posts loss as print ads sink

Good riddance. Gannett owns scores of local newspapers in 35 states. Almost all these properties are in small to medium sized cities. That’s why it employs 19,000 people.

There’s safety in those numbers because local advertisers need their local newspapers.

But the national USA Today has become a joke. It offer no compelling news or perspective and has been a huge Trump-hater in recent months.

Bye bye, USA Today.

Our local newspaper was liberal propaganda but had a pioneering, well-used and inciteful anonymous comment section from 1995 to 2000 when it was shut down to prevent comments about Al Gore's Tennessee Mafia stories.

It came back on again with "registered full name only" but of course faltered and failed because liberals will look you up and threaten by saying "hey I know where you live and work."

It opened back up again in 2005 changing back to anonymous but registered with them and took off with sometimes hundreds of great comments. It was great to take a liberal news media hoax and debunk it right there in the comments! Pow!

Well, they shut that down a few years ago, changing to Facebook comments only. Sure enough, any non-liberal comment is threatened by leftist thugs using information found. They said the old comments would remain but they disappeared in a few days, the publisher claiming it was "all a mistake." Right. Suddenly hundreds of debunked stories became "true" again.

Now hardly anyone posts and the (Gannett) newspaper is going down, down, down. Queue AOL voice: Goodbye.
