Aw gee, now why does my coffee taste sweeter all the sudden?

As FReepers we've read endless excerpts from this paper to know the folks who run it are definitive of the concept of "open treason". Sure, they'll slither off and find new outlets to express their hatred of our nation, but there will be one less voice signing in the "Red Choir". And that's always good news...

Cheers!

Why are you so obsessed with the demise of print media?

He probably is old enough to remember when some newspapers were not owned by America-hating socialists.

Because, in my opinion, the DriveBy media have done more damage to the United States than all the foreign enemies have ever done to us. For the most part, they are a collection of frustrated Marxists who despise what the United States represents - freedom, commerce, rugged individualism, God, family.

They have used their monopoly power of the communications system to try to rot us from the inside out.

I celebrate their demise vociferously.

“After Avista bought the company, the firm’s partner, OhSang Kwon, was quoted in the paper as saying that Minneapolis-St. Paul was a “good market” and that “this is a good time to be buying newspapers.””

OhSang Kwon is also eyeing big investments in the steam engine, the telegraph and the camera film industries.

I will repeat my prediction:

Within two years, Dimocrats will propose federal funding of the dinosaur media.

If enough newspapers start going belly-up, where will FR get its news to discuss?

Things are really bad when a Marxist newspaper can’t make it in a Marxist state. Looked like a good buy when Avista got it for almost half of what it was supposed to be worth. Goodbyyyyyyeeeeeee.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving paper....

Maybe if you wrote unbiased news, it would circulate more....

No one in Minnesota with an ounce of brains pays any attention to the Strib anymore. Even the letters to the Editor show that only liberals are reading it. I see this paper occasionally when I fill-in at the local clinic, and ti amazes me what the readers are thinking. They are all left wing loonies.

I think maybe the paper receives about 1-2 conservative leters per month, and usually in support of Katherine Kerstien, who write good oped pieces.
