The story goes that Cox bean-counters are afraid to suggest to the company matriarch that they want to shit-can her hometown paper, the one her daddy bought back in ‘39.

I await the inevitable shit-canning with bated breath. It can't come too soon.

Yet people buy stories of Hollywood and "bat-boy",Elvis sightings,etc.

Maybe if the newspapers tried real reporting without bias,treating the rotten DEmocrats as bad as they now treat rotten Republicans?

Naw,journalists have too longed been groomed by the socialists.

Looks like all these left wing liberal newspapers did everything they could to survive to elect Obama, even if it meant long term they would be bankrupt...

Given that this is my ‘hometown’ newspaper, I should be concerned to some extent, but I’m not. I quit reading the Urinal-Constipation back around the turn of the century when I finally had enough of the lefty/lib bias.

Newspapers still involved in objective journalism, neutral politics, I will read. But I don’t need another propaganda rag, even if it does originate in my home town.

Anne Cox Chambers (born December 1, 1919) is a billionaire media proprietor. She is the daughter of James M. Cox, a newspaper publisher and 1920 Democratic Presidential nominee...

An alumna of Finch College and a generous financial supporter of the Democratic Party, she was President Jimmy Carter's pick as United States Ambassador to Belgium from 1977 to 1981.

Looks like several of these Leftist rags held on just long enough to get their Dalai Bama elected......

I'm nearly convinced that before the end of the Dalai Bama’s term in office - there will be financial collapse leading to a civil revolt not unlike a civil war against the “Government” and their favored “constituents.
