My wife and I subscribe to the largest daily in our area. It's a small paper in a metro pop. of about one hundred and twentyfive thousand. I will occasionally purchase big city dailies. And yes the local rag we get is overwhelmingly liberal slanted. My wife gets it for the ads. The political content of the paper is pukeworthy. I wish I could start a counter paper to their bovine excrement.
I think this is how they're going to have to rearrange their business model to stay profitable. They've got to get the bias out or the smaller dailies will go the way of the national papers. I'm not sure they know how to do it.
