Now, I'm not one to tell Michael what to do with his money. I'm just amused when I hear people like Ketchup Boy and the Breck Girl denounce the "concentration" of power in media, yet their biggest supporter in one major city is the publisher of the only newspaper in the metropolitan area!!

What hypocrites.

I TELL YOU, it just another reason why I am, happily, a

That doesn't surprise me, as I grew up in St. Louis, which is by far a big democratic machine. I will have to get my parents to stop their subscription to the Post-Dispatch immediately, no sense in giving Ketchup any more money!

Is this what is meant by a Pulitzer Prize?

Well, well well! It's a shame that 40% of the subscribers and 40% of the advertisers don't drop their relationship with the Left Wing Rag! Might convince them to be a bit less bias.

Fortunately, the number of people who read newspapers is shrinking every year and the number of people who take them seriously is shrinking even faster. Hopefully, these sick animals like Michael E. Pulitzer will take a bath when their newspaper "empires" finally gasp and die.

Actually, the Belleville News Democrat and The Edwardsville Intelligencer are also in the Saint Louis metropolitan area. Perhaps you should switch your subscription (if any) to one of them. As it happens, both newspapers have more "diversity" than the Post Dispatch. Both are also based in Illinois. But the Post Dispatch isn't a monopoly; it enjoys just 83% of the market share.

It is an outrageously biased rag. I refuse to subscribe. I can remember the good ole days when we had the St. Louis Globe Democrat in addition to the Post. (Don't know where the name came from, 'cause it was the conservative counterpart to the Post Dispatch).

You'd think in a metro area of this size, we'd have some competition!

Good research and a great thread.

These rats have an influence all over America, and their newspaper are pro rat and yet deny it.

"Pulitzer Inc. is a newspaper publishing company with integrated Internet operations in 14 United States markets. During the fiscal year ended December 28, 2003, the Company's St. Louis operations contributed approximately 72% of its reported revenue. Pulitzer's newspaper holdings include operations in St. Louis, Missouri, where its subsidiary, St. Louis Post-Dispatch LLC, publishes the Post-Dispatch, the daily newspaper serving the greater St. Louis metropolitan area. In Tucson, Arizona, its Star Publishing Company subsidiary publishes the Arizona Daily Star (the Star). Star Publishing shares, on an equal basis, the combined results of the Star and the Tucson Citizen, published by the Gannett Co., Inc. Pulitzer's wholly owned subsidiary, Pulitzer Newspapers, Inc. and its subsidiaries publish 12 dailies that serve markets in the Midwest, Southwest and West, as well as more than 65 weekly newspapers, shoppers and niche publications."

Not only is the St. Louis Post the biggest in one major city, but it is also delivered all the way to Poplar Bluff (that I know of). The Bluff is about three/four hours south.

The Post-Disgrace is so much fishwrap. It reflects the political situation that exists in the city.
