The Richmond, Va.-based communications company said revenue at its publishing division fell 6.8%, while interactive media division revenue rose 37.4%. Broadcast division revenue decreased less than 1%, the company said. "Media General's July results mostly reflected continued weak advertiser spending in our Tampa, Florida, market and lower political revenues in our broadcast division," said Media General Chief Executive Marshall Morton in a statement.

The usual scam is to promote the left wing bias in the news section, and the editorial pages, so that the Republicans, who have all that money must be advertising pages to counter the bias. It has worked for many years, and will continue to pay dividends as we seek to defeat Hillary and her minions.
