I think it is a fantastic investment opportunity for any liberal. Or for a union pension fund.

I think they just want to buy real estate assets on the cheap, they don’t care about the newspapers themselves.

It is a "dying industry" as presently structured, but people will always need--and thus pay for--local news and ads. The internet makes state and (especially) national and international reporting by local papers impractical. I agree that properly structured papers, with a well-designed web presence, have a reliably good future.

One useful analogy might be the barber in the old west who doubled as a dentist. In hindsight, we can see how evolving technology made that a failed model, but that doesn't mean we don't still need haircuts.

Yes, I do.

Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter et.al. should form a consortium and snap up all these faltering print establishments for a song and demonstrate there is nothing wrong with newspapers that can not be fixed with proper management.

Best regards,
