Wall Street Journal ^

communist rag.........

[1010RD]

It should be slashed. At least that is what the birds think.

[PhilosopherStones]

Good! My uncle owns the Examiner so this will be good for him.

[A message]

Lets see, checking to see if I’m disappointed.

Nope.

What? No more gay rants from whatshisname?

But, what will the fish do without their wraps?

[bilhosty]

Just think if this rag goes out of business and the media news collection as well than the only newspaper left in the Bay area will be the San Fran examiner a conservative paper. hee hee hee haw haw haw. I wonder if the libs will then demand a fairness doctrine for Bay area papers.

“Hearst said it will seek “critical cost-saving measures,”

Generally in business we try to build a better product to get out of a sales situation.

funny I used to live out there when I was on contract @ Mare Island Naval Shipyard in the mid 80’s (lived in Napa - life was tough)......the only thing that was good was Herb Caen’s column (spelling?). That man was a journalist and very funny.....

Hearst to Slash, Sell or Close the Chronicle

Hallelujah!!!!

[Psycho_Bunny]

I hope to God this doesn’t mean Mark Morford’s going away!!!!

The Ex is worth reading.

I have been wondering how they have been holding up in the Bizzaro world of Sodom by the Sea.

I hold out "hope" that the Ex will start fact checking leftie letter writers and print disclaimers below their letters.

Haven’t talked to Anschutz in a while, but 18 months ago, the Examiner was doing quite well (Both SF and Baltimore/DC).

And if they end up the only game in town in SF, he’ll do VERY well.

[Navy Patriot]

I have seen a steady improvement in the past 18 months.

[Richard Kimball]

Can’t he do all three?

[dbtigger]

I will celebrate if this paper folds... as it were. I've been hating it for 20 years. The people of the Bay Area will be freer in its absence. And I used to deliver the dang thing on a bike route in the 80’s.

You can’t bring the Chronicle into a home with children, so let it die.

[Colinsky]

Although I agree that the Chronicle is a commie fishwrap, I’ve been a newspaper addict since I was a little kid 50 years ago and I don’t know what I’ll do if the Chron vanishes. I’m in the South Bay where the San Jose Mercury News is the main paper, and it is ten times worse than the Chron. And the Mercury-News ink comes off the paper onto your hands, besides.

What about the nation’s exotic bird owners?
