If Honda only sold cars to liberals, they'd have to downsize too.

Usually to see just what a liberal rag is saying. I like to keep up on the liberal viewpoint. Sometimes I listen to Randy Rhodes while driving through West Palm Beach. She is simply a liberal idiot spewing nonsensical garbbage but it is good to hear for your self.
In the early 70s I lived D.C. and worked at the Pentagon. I’d read the Wash. Post. Too bad it’s sunk so low but I still pick one up when I’d there just to see for myself.
Sort of the fair and balanced thing. Check out both sides then make my own decision.

Hee hee hee hee, yuk yuk yuk. I stopped buying this rag becuase of its liberal bias and I tell every subscription caller and huckster why. It makes me feel so good that there is a result from my strike.

Ironically, Young’s last story on the CDC, published last week, was about how the agency hired ombudsmen “to address poor employee morale, complaints about a massive reorganization and an exodus of key staff that sparked concern among members of Congress and five former CDC directors.”

Irony? Or karma?

The health/science coverage will be cut back to one reporter.

That should be an easy gig. All you have to do is recycle articles about "affordable" health care and global warming.

.... journalism classes in the future . . .

I claim no expertise in the industry, but I have to wonder why anyone would join what appears to be a declining business model.

Comments from a subscriber:
1. My sub was due to run out a couple of weeks ago. I told them the price was too high and I would not be renewing- then was told about a “special” rate which was about 50% less, and not a bad deal.
2. I mainly subscribe because they have a very good sports section, especially on college sports. Also my wife probably saves the cost of the subscription from the Sunday ads and coupons.
3. Until recently, they would publish puff pieces on various rappers on a regular basis. Haven’t seen much of that since the Imus thing.

This might present an OPPORTUNITY for freelancers who want to cover NASCAR. Just send your reports to the managing editor. That’s how I got stuff published. I’m thinking that newspapers will be using MORE freelance material in the future.

Well, the only trouble is that it is the peons who are paying, not the big sh*ts.

I can’t begin to express my glee that this crazed klutz may get a pink slip. Never has one with so little talent risen so high in my profession. I worked for years for a competing paper and never ceased to marvel at the arrogance of those idiots in Atlanta.

I remember the old days when Paul Schaat was at the head of the editorial board. The opinion page was actually balanced! That was before the paper was sold to Gannett. Dan Quayle was part of the Pulliam family who owned the paper originally! Keven Willey single-handedly destroyed the paper (well she has had a lot of help from EJ Montini and Richard “I never heard a liberal lie I wouldn’t repeat, especially if it fits the profile about the exploitation of poor Mexicans” Uribe).

An outfit I was working for recently wanted to post a quarter-page ad in the AJC for an educational seminar that will be showing there later this spring. Their rates, even for educational non-profits are ridiculous.

What approach did your auto dealership settle on? Inquiring minds want to know.

She says they are “doing more with the Internet” like cars.com.

I actually wasn’t buying a car, we were holding a press conference there on a vehicle registration bill. Myself, I recently bought a new truck and I shopped entirely on the Internet and worked a deal through e-mail and over the phone. The dealership was 35 miles away, but I paid $29,000 for a $41,000 MSRP new truck so it was worth the drive.

No Golf???
Besides the college football coverage which is good, the editorials and news are crap. Everything comes from the AP anyway,.
Unfortunately, because of my wife's business we continue to subscribe even though way spend most mornings laughing at how sorry they are.

This is going to be the new focus of left wing activism, methinks, especially if the paper is owned by a chain. I was reading the same sort of sob story about job cuts at the local Dem rag in some free (who would pay for it?) “progressive” rag just recently.

Some of the “Peons” are just as bad and sooner or later I hope there will be no reason for the ACJ.
