GONE WITH THE WIND - 2006

"There was a land of Publishers and Editors called the Newspaper Business... Here in this pretty world Journalism took its last bow... Here was the last ever to be seen of Reporters and their Enablers, of Anonymous Sources and of Stringers... Look for it only in books, for it is no more than a dream remembered. A Civilization Gone With the Wind..."

With apologies to Margaret Mitchell...

I always love the way unions throw new hires under the bus in order to keep their own fat benefits. They do, however, CHARGE THE NEW HIRES THE SAME UNION DUES...

Maybe they can get Caesar Chavez and form a union. Then they can "Dig up dirt" and get job security too. /sarc

Strike! Strike! Strike! Strike! Strike!

When the newspapers shut down for the strike, the few subscribers left will look elsewhere for news, cancel their subscriptions and let the papers die. The employees will have to find honest, gainful employment. Everybody wins!

I don't think the turds are worth %70 of what they get now. Maybe give them %5 of what they get and that would be about right.
Make up lies and b.s.

A few years ago I stopped a bank robbery and was responsible for the three that did the deed gotting caught and sent to jail.
Every local news organization had it all completely wrong. Not even close.
And they all interviewed me too. Still Wrong wrong wrong. I'll never even speak to another "reporter".

When I first got on the WWW, the Mercury was THE paper to read, and it was that way for many years.

Then they wrote and published that series of articles alleging the CIA dumped tons (tons!!!!) of heroin and cocaine into black communities. And when they were challenged, did not come up with a jot of evidence to back up their accusations.

It was the end of them. I won't miss them.

Turkeys.
