A definite sign the Liberal-Socialists who've taken over the nation's information highways are running the businesses clean into the ground.
Yet it's funny how deep in denial the ownership of these entities must be for them not to see the direct correlation between what the editor(s) [they've hired] are producing, the rejection of their customers to their "product" & the tanking of their business.
Simply amazing.
It's either that?
Or losing the business while getting the Liberal-Socialist message out -- visa vi the entire L-S modus operandi & constant efforts at social engineering?
That outcome has been accepted by these new fangled brainstems as simply collateral damage in pursuit of the cause.
And even if it has been accepted by the Big Bugs to deliberately lose the business, wonder what the individual stockholders are thinking as surely they see their investments fade away?
In any event if it's the latter, so be it.
...the free market at work. ;^)
It might be instructive to get a list of major stockholders; that is, the one's we don't know about, of the major media players. Buffett, Disney, GE are a who's who of capitalist success; so what is it about capitalists that turns them into reasonable facsimiles of Bolsheviks when they reach the pinnacle? Does it come from the desire to control one's environment, which is always there, but now having the wherewithall to influence world events, they're actions become engines for social change?
Corporatism at its finest? The rest of us are just customers.

Sandra Rowe, editor of the Oregonian is a flaming lib.
