Ever since the Rocky Mountain News folded, the Denver Post has been cutting, cutting, cutting. Today we got three sections of the paper in one that was smaller than one section in the pre-Rocky closing days.

The media will portray THIS as terrorism, that’s for sure.

Won’t matter; the lefties at the Star Tribune will be the very LAST to lose their jobs anyway.

This won’t change a thing. The Star Tribune isn’t known as the Red Star for nothing. They don’t seem to mind losing circulation as long as they get their socialist message out.

The newspaper where I live has students going door to door trying sell subscriptions. They sell so many and get some trip or something funded.

So I said sure since it was 2 dollars a week for the daily paper. I figured that I would donate the papers to Adopt-A-Pet so they could line cages with it.

Let’s see, they tilt hard to the left and thereby eliminate the most prosperous 50% of their potential readership while focusing on the segment who don’t or can’t read a newspaper. Nice business model...

The company's operating committee announced the cuts this morning, saying that the "cracking of our historical economic model and the current Great Recession have forced us to move quickly to make meaningful and difficult adjustments over the next few months."

"Our historical model" = unswerving fealty to liberalism

Notice that the Strib didn’t enable reader comments on this story. Small wonder there.

Any bets that it will be mostly conservatives, such as Katherine Kersten who will be cut? Hmmmmm?

“cracking of our historical economic model”

Things went in the crapper when they quit reporting news fairly and became a PR organ for the Democrats.

One can only hope it spreads and catches on over at WCCO-TV.
That news staff needs trimmin’ too! The sooner that sanctimonious Don Selby hits the road, the better.
