The OSM (old stream media) is history (liberal print rags) and they know it.

Was going to pick up a Sunday Chicago Trib today because all the Christmas sale papers are in it, I think, if I remember right. Haven't gotten a paper for a zillion years. My 8 year old daughters says "what's in a newspaper mom?"

Not a bad idea bert. Switch all the liberal slant to conservative; buy it lock stock and barrel for 80 cents of book. If we could raise 10 % of the price, I could probably
broker/dealer the balance!

You just can't trust what the m.s.m says. Add to that you are led by the nose by liberal anti bush anti American writers pushing the gay&lesbian,prochoice,antimilitary,crap.
So you just don't purchase the Times or Post or the local little town rag anymore.

With high-speed broadband and wireless access now a fact for most Americans, consumers are no longer at the mercy of second-rate information providers...More news on the demise of the ToM (Tired old Media :)
ToM is the right description of The Lexington Hearld-(mis)Leader, It isn't worth a Tinkers' D@mn.

The Knight Ridder papers are Exhibit A when it comes to "a bad idea, done poorly (and cheaply)".
It is a chain full of papers that richly deserve to die.

This is terrible.
What shall we now do for something useless and eminently disposable to put under our cat-litter boxes, especially when we enjoy the heck out of doing it?

Sold my stock a while back. Looks like a total turkey. Might better invest in GM.

The NYT would be delighted to sell you a subscription to their rag for next to nothing. I live in California and keep getting ads from them to subscribe for pennies. They must be hard up. I keep sending them back their ads in their pre-paid envelopes saying I wouldn't have their tripe in my house if THEY paid ME.

We have a Gannett paper here in Monroe, La. We cancelled our subscription several years ago.
The money for the subscription will pay for about 1/2 of cable internet costs and we can read their two bit newspaper online for free.
To: abb
Its strategy has been straightforward: Leverage de facto monopoly newspaper status in individual cities into ownership of the classified advertising business in those communities.How does this differ from Gannett's strategy?
