EXCELLENT NEWS!!!!
I hope Trejbal gets canned. Who wants to read his stupid tripe, anyway?
Some really really rich person with lots of money to burn should buy them out, fire everyone, print the names and addresses of everyone that worked there, then close the doors.
Used to be my hometown paper. When I worked a contract in Reston, VA, I was astonished at how balanced and fair the Washington (com)Post was in comparison to the Roanoke Times! A mission to run a communist catechism in SW Virginia does not sound like a sane business plan, now, does it? And the Post cost half as much per copy!
Trashball probably isn’t old enough. Besides, he probably fits right in (with) the publisher. Whattarag.

Posting a database link listing the names and addresses of all concealed-carry permit holders in the Commonwealth, many of whom were subscribers, was undoubtedly bad for business as well.
I hear there’s also a slide rule factory for sale, cheap.
I agree. Every NRV editorial person sucks. They should just contract for Doug Thompson’s blog in Floyd. At least he is entertaining.
Unfortunately the idiot who came up with that is likely to be the last to go.
After he published the CCW list, I read a few of his other columns.
One that I remember had him going on for about 500 words on how badly Virginia drivers handle snowy roads. Pretty deep stuff, that Trejbal thinks and writes about.
Plus, from his photo, I consider him to be a sitzpinkler.
I believe that RITT is still delivering....someplace.
Well, if he stays on, and starts covering main stream news, we will have lots of material here at FR to laugh about....
When he fired off the “You people are inbred, backward yahoos for voting against gay marriage”, I was done with the guy. He’s a cheap writer.
Someone should round up and publish the names and addresses of the reporters and editors.
Seems to me they could cut more costs if they retired the more highly compensated employees.
Coincidentally, this was published today.

Every news outlet of any consequence now has endless space online to offer supplementary information about the people who report, edit, and produce the news.

And then this came out.

Reporters’ Lives — Newsy or Nosey?
Posted by Brian Montopoli
William Powers believes that news organizations should post personal information about their journalists online.
He wants these questions answered: “Who are they? Where did they grow up? What did they study in school? Why did they become journalists? Did they ever work in politics or volunteer for a cause? If so, when and where?”
To which I ask: Why stop there?
What about these: What is their pin number? Who did they last sleep with? Do they have any embarrassing rashes? I demand that all journalists post at least one shirtless camera-phone pic of themselves on MySpace. The people have a right to know!

Another left wing rag going under.
One each year, the Des Moines Register publishes the names and salaries of every state employee.
The best comment I saw about the concealed permit list publication was “...When integrity fails, there is always the Roanoake times...”
