And the Wall St Journal was doing great...now they have moved to the left...my favorite, once conservative, capitalist paper will soon be gone too.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if someone Conservative could/would buy it and begin actually reporting the news!

I would say there isn't a news paper in this country that isn't for sale. They all see the hand writing on the wall.

Really, isnt there a rich conservative that can buy it up and transform the tabloid to an actual newspaper?

How sad that Miami hasn’t had a newspaper for years.

I stopped buying this rag a while ago. With racist opinion writers, biased democrats and anti bush journalist I was skipping half the paper.

They really showed there a-s with the obama coverage

Thursday, Scripps put the Rocky Mountain News (Denver) up for sale. One pundit says they’ll shut it down in 90 days or so - there won’t be a buyer.

I suspect the Miami Herald might last a little longer than that. But not much.

>>>>>McClatchy’s $4.5 billion purchase in 2006 of Knight Ridder,<<<<<<<<

Hard to believe the McClatchy family signed-on to that idiotic decision.

Hey, New York Times Corporation is now worth less than what they bought the Boston Globe for.

But the Ridder family got out just in the nick of time. As did the Pulitzer family.
