Someone needs to tell the fake president-elect, if he’ll listen. You know, the same one these failing newsrooms backed.

I was out walking on Sunday and actually saw a newspaper on some guys driveway. I remember when the Christmas season Sunday paper was a couple of phone books thick...this looked like a skinny carrot.
