The thing that amazes me about newspapers is that even the small town papers in conservative areas have the same leftist editorial bias as the NYT. The editors seem to think that being a brainwashed commie RAT is the only editorial stance they can take.
It is now trading at exactly 10% of what it was 1 year ago.
An encouraging trend.
The on going tri state water war between FLA, GA and Ala has raged for 25 years and is now in federal court. Obama in west Fla during the campaign jumped into the middle of it pandering for electoral votes and said he thought FLA’s poistion should be upheld by the courts, knowing full well he was not going to win in GA or ALA. Did the Atlanta Journal-Constitution report his remarks? Not one word even though it is full of stories about our water difficulties.
Conservative mantra - 'We don't need your stinking newspaper'
Either way....newspapers are screwed....
Thing that got me was “we noticed” .... like they were the newspaper GESTAPO .... rather than just saying “would you like to receive “ .... it was the tone ....
We get our paper free (Fall Church News Press). Run by a liberal gay dude, do not read it.
Nice to burn in the wood stove, though. Free fuel.
McClatchy paper in Anchorage is the same as The Star. Totally out of touch with the community. Suffering the same fate with staff layoffs, cutbacks and loss of readership too.
If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, what does that make McClatchy? Can a corporation be labeled insane?
“News”papers treat their readers like mushrooms; Feed ‘em sh!t and keep ‘em in the dark.

Plenty Of Ratings Woe This Season For (TV) Broadcasters (Dinosaur Media DeathWatch™)
Similar here. The caller is working off a script, and is just a hired hand in some marketing firm. Rather than give them an honest piece of my mind (which is something they don't deserve), I lied to them about getting the paper, and about enjoying it. It got me off their call list, and my life is slightly more peaceful as a result.
I'm planning to do the same thing with the GOP. Tell them I adore their policies, but never donate money, time, or votes. Eventually, they'll stop annoying me with their lies too.
If I’m in a mellow mood I’ll chat with them and finally say “no thanks” but normally I just let my answering machine screen my calls ... one article I read said to just keep saying “yes” to everything ... but then, they’re people just trying to do a job ....
They haven’t called me back to see if I’d subscribe since I told them I wouldn’t wipe my 4$$ with their communist rag.
The good news for the mentally ill still owning McClatchy/MNI is that the stock is still out performing Fannie Mae/FNM, and Freddie Mac/FRE.
The bad news is MNI has lost over 80% of its value in one year.
These stocks are another prime example of Grampa Dave's cornerstone re owning stocks: Never own a stock controlled by Liberals.

If it can, McClatchy would be at or near the top of the list. The Bee newspapers here in CA are McCommie papers as well. Might as well be titled Pravda West.
Great post. I suggest everyone check out the writer’s website. Jack Cashill has done some amazing work researching the Clinton years - Ron Brown’s death, TWA 800, Oklahoma City, etc. Worth a read. He also penned a little known novel about a political right-wing revolt during a fictional Gore presidency (2006: The Chatauqua Rising.)
Good stuff.
