The Pittsburgh P-G begins it's slow fade to black, eliminating its print edition for a yet-undetermined 2 days per week. More to follow.

The local, Tucson Red star, has shrunk to the size of a comic book and is just about as informative.

The Ministry of Propaganda is going out of business in slow motion.

PG has been on a slow death like all newspapers for a while...

its probably exacerbated by the fact that Richard Mellon Scaife owns the competing paper in the region and views it as a pet project and has been pumping money into it without care of how much it loses for decades now as well.

PG has no change to compete because the Tribune-Review doesn’t need to make money.

When your paper is no different than the free city tabloid that you find in area restaurants, why pay?

The new owners of the PPG are fairly right leaning. There was a bit of an uproar a few weeks ago about political cartoons that constantly bashed Trump. The PPG would not print them. The owners wanted something that went both ways. They eventually fired the cartoonist.

Was at my mechanic getting an oil chg and some other things and sat there with his dad, and scanned through the “comics”. I never get the paper.

I asked him “when did all of the comics stop being funny?”

None were funny.

Love it! The lousy leftist Salt Lake Tribune recently had significant layoffs.
