I thought they were looking to Oprah for serious news.

Haven’t had the “evil eye” in the house for 13 years.

My kids wouldn’t even know what Sponge Bob is if it weren’t plastered on lunchboxes, towels and happy meals.

I get crap from the NY Slimes in the mail and I just send back the BRM empty so they have to pay the postage.

Wonder if you could tape the Business Reply envelope to a brick so they would have to pay more postage?

The Detroit Free Press, liberal rag that it is, was instrumental in bringing down ex Detroit mayor kwame Kilpatrick.

IMHO the threads of DISCUSS DETROIT! do a better job of covering local news including political scandal.

Agreed but as long as newspapers spew liberal propganda and the DNC’s talking points they will keep sinking. I would subscribe to my local paper if it was not TOTALLY biased.

Ain’t it the truth? The Houston Comical.

The Examiner online is a pretty good source of information.

I'm stunned newspapers have survived as long as they have - how many businesses could survive giving half their potential customers the finger every day?

True, but The Bulletin is a much better paper. The Inquirer and Daily News are infuriating to read. I wish all those Obama supporters on the Editorial Board well on their $325 a week PA unemployment.

I want everybody associated with these two newspapers to lose their jobs, their homes, and their families. For what these liberal Democrat newsrooms have done to my country, they deserve nothing less.

There are quite a few people there with no vested interest in the editorial ideology of the papers. They are the victims here. Of course, being in Philly and either Teamsters or Newspaper Guild members they probably voted for Obama so they deserve what they are about to get.
