Getting ready for sale of Gannett to a hedge fund. Reduce head count. Nobody is buying local papers anymore.

Makes one wonder why anyone would want to “invest” in the newspaper business?

With the government shutdown, the DOJ hasn’t been able to issue paychecks to the media for fake reporting or propaganda. Most likely brings FISA requests to a standstill due to lack of purchased news stories used as evidence to obtain warrants. Really very funny but true.

You’ve got a very good point. The Justice Dept OIG Michael Horowitz, in his June 2018 report, had numerous journalists on the take but were not, as yet, identified.

In general, if papers would concentrate on the local area and state alone, most would have the capability to survive. But the use of papers for political platforms? No one has interest in picking up some 80-cent paper that blasts Trump on the front-page.

"She concluded by urging people to subscribe to the paper"

Sorry I try not to subsidize professions that views me as a know-nothing a-hole. That's just me though.

I’m trying to feel bad for out of work propagandists. Trying. Nope. Not feeling it.

I am just as sympathetic towards them, as they were about all the people who lost their jobs in the oil industry in the 1980s and 1990s.

Actually, I’m feeling good about it. Propagandists should be unemployed.

“Both companies have lost sight of the critical product they are meant to provide — journalism.”

The “journalist” went first.

Now we need to turn the so called Mainstream Media off the TV. Fox has even gone to putting idiot leftist on. I could stand them when they tried to be honest but the media has gone bonkers and back up one lie with another. I know a lot of folks cant get OAN News but I watch it in place of the rest of them. Contact your provider and ask for OAN News America. They are not as fancy but their content is more in depth and revealing.

Not to mention the liability costs when names are disclosed on who in the media was reporting fake stories written for them by the DOJ for nefarious purposes.

"Heap big damages", as Elizabeth Warren would say.

When you have 33 million illegals who do read, you welcome more illegals who will not buy your product. People don’t read papers. They get messages and that’s it. Journalism is dead. I know the answer let’s admit more illiterate illegals they will buy our paper or read it on line. Oh they can’t read! Why it’s Trump’ s fault.
