The post is hurting, this isn't helping them at all (not that i want them to be helped)

They are all but giving away the paper for free. On the radio this morning on my 1 hour-20 mile commute i heard three adds from the post outlining their top stories. They used classic stupid "cliff hanger" statements to grab attention. EX-"Who might be taking the lead role in a new Apprentice next season? She's done hard time! find out today in the TV section of your Washington post"
Immediately after each aid aired the local news come on and then basically told you all the current news. News Papers are dead. They need to improve their crossword puzzles, movie listings, and comic sections because thats all they are good for.

Bingo! I read my local fishwrap to get the daily funny section and do the crosswords and peek at the stock closings.

I rely on this forum (FreeRepublic) to get my news... and for that matter, my commentary.
