Now sales taxes are higher in Arizona than they are in CA! State government has turned left, hard.
Worse, I bought a house in Prescott Valley, thinking I would escape from high taxes - now I find this was a huge mistake.
I'm facing retirement, and the future in AZ looks little better than here in CA (Commie-Abyss.)
I enjoyed reading our newspaper The Leaf Chronicle, which was a nice little paper and just the right size. I canceled our subscription after they let the Gannet corporation take over, because there was nothing in that was of any interest to me. It took me five minutes to read what I found worthwhile.
I’m beginning to think that the walls that once kept people inside communist hell-holes weren’t such a bad thing after all....
Nuts! I proofread that and still...
“...it was her primary...” NOT “here primary”
But Stewart had no problem with AOL-TimeWarner when they merged? He didn't mind having Ted Turner on top of AOL, CNN, Time Magazine, HBO, and TBS?

Of course not; it will further disturb the liberal media monopoly.
I’d love to see the Koch brothers take over Tribune and straighten out the place ASAP. Colonel McCormick would be proud.
Then support the Koch brothers in their bid for the paper.
Journalism in college - much like 'education' - is lots of 'group think' and not a lot of talent. They need to hire conservatives as reporters and teach them how to write. Middle class citizens who are actually part of the city - not elites who's real specialty is knowing the best heath club in town - would be a good start... For editors? Go with Sowell, Daniel Greenfield, and Jonah Goldberg... top conservative thinkers...
You got something against it?
Bill Whittle is certainly trying. Conservative seem to want to avoid the media all together so we get what we get.
I can say that if they don't invest in media they will have helped kill the government that made their wealth possible. Who will then protect their wealth?
Really? I was considering Prescott. I like the smaller community and of course, Arizona gun rights. Guess, I should stick with my first choice Reno, NV.
And without even mentioning that Larry O'Brien of the L. A. Slimes can't even discuss conservative ideas or politicians without showing us huge, staring eyes, veins standing out on his neck and temples, and froth on his lips.
Really? Reno. For gun rights. Ironic choice.
How can Conservatives run and operate a newspaper?
They are nowhere near as bright, intelligent, intellectual, smart and cerebral as Progressives, dontcha know.
(The only thing that Conservatives like to do is thump bibles, buy guns and ammunition and drag their knuckles, ya know?)

In Philadelphia there are two newspapers and both are owned by something called (I think) Newscorp. Anyway they are both uber liberal rags, the Daily News and the Inquirer. A few years ago they were both about to go broke and an investment group pooled their money and bought them, saving them from certain collapse. However, the head of the group was a republican and the reporters revolted. They insisted he sign a pledge not to try to influence them or the editorial page or they would go on strike. He signed it, ensuring that the hard core lefties would remain and the paper would continue the downward spiral. Proves that just because someone who isn't a liberal democrat gets control of a newspaper you can't assume it will stop being a liberal rag.
About a year ago, the group sold the papers to another consortium, this time formed from a bunch of prominent rich democrats. Not a peep from the reporters about that.
News Corp is Rupert Murdoch.
The Philly Inquirer is (at least according to Wiki) owned by a group of local investors.
Agreed 100%!!
I haven’t bought an LA times in 15 years.
It’s been 10 years since I’ve even read it. But if I move from CA I’ll probably buy a once-a-week copy and have it mailed to me, and I cannot even tell you why.
That’s a fact.
You are correct, I misremembered. It’s called Philadelphia Media Holdings. When it was run by a republican (note I don’t say conservative because Brian Tierney is pretty establishment I think) the reporters raised hell. Now that it’s run by a democrat they are silent. There ya go.
