It’s the lunatics from the DNC’s MSM that are driving up the country’s unemployment rate.

"as we aggressively pursue our print and digital strategies to deliver what readers and advertisers want. "

Do they really have a clue?

Like a little fairness and honesty?

forecasters predict that a rebound won’t occur until well into 2009 or later.

If you just keep telling yourself this, it will come true!

Buggy whips will be huge in "2009 or later"!

The funny part is they are all convinced this is because of the “Bush economy” rather than the idiotic way they choose to report the news.

...as we aggressively pursue our print and digital strategies to deliver what readers and advertisers want.

Here're some hints for Mr. Dickey:

1. Print only true, accurate, complete, timely, and appropriate stories. That's called "news"

2. Place opinions and editorials back on the Op-Ed page. That's the only place they belong.

3. Cease bashing and start praising American. We have earned it.

4. Stop hiring journalism school graduates and start hiring/promoting those with real-world experience. "Journalism" is Communist brainwashing masquerading as a profession. We want "Reporting" which is an honorable trade.

5. Free your papers from the tyranny of wire-service propaganda. If you are going to print the truth, you will have to get it yourself.

That's it. Americans can have propaganda for free from the Democrat and Communist Parties (but I repeat myself). We will pay for real news. But it had better be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Recently, my wife’s sister-in-law lost her job at the Alt. Constitution. She is so liberal, and so uninformed, that she actually came to our house and tried to convince us that there was a “Palestinian peace movement”. After picking myself up off the floor, sides splitting, I had to leave the room.

Big sources of income for print media were real estate and autos.

Savvy real estate and auto sales firms are shifting to their own internet advertising, depriving the traditional print newspapers of the revenue.

Autotrader was a printed magazine. It successfully made the transition to internet advertising.

Same for Harmon Homes.

So print firms are trying to switch over to internet business models. Many will fail. Hopefully the most liberal will fail.

Why would I go to a regional newspaper (print or online) to shop for an auto, when a specialty option like Autotrader exists? Same for real estate.

So I think part of the plight of print newspapers has nothing to do with editorial bias, and everything to do with the trend to online marketing.

The Orange County Register is a much, much thinner paper than just a few days ago, and it is not a liberal operation.

......the weakening economy has had a significant effect on our financial performance......

The refusal to admit personal responsibility is awesome. Gannet is in trouble because they produce a lousy product. It this this personal failure that is mistaken for a general recession.
