The ship is listing heavily to port and taking on water at a rapid rate.
Which basically means you’ll be getting your two day old news three days late.
What comes to mind for me is the old song, “Video killed the Radio Star”
I grew up reading the PD as a kid in Cleveland.
Like most of the things in my old hometown, it’s fading away.
My home town is about 30,000 people. They have one news paper and it just announced 3 day a week publication. The web page is all subscription and updated daily.
So I tell my 89 year old dad this and he says “what’s a web page?”.
These are changing times, indeed.

Dinosaur Media Deathwatch!
And as a former subscriber to the Mobile Press-Register I have to agree.....went from 7 days a week to Sun-Wed-Fri and I can’t believe the hard left slant that it has taken.....now the AL.COM has become the daily for B’ham, Huntsville, Mobile and NOLA.....pretty pathetic....I predict that by the end of the year there will be NO newspaper here in any of the three Bama cities or NOLA - people just aren’t interested in reading something that’s been on line for a couple of days and who the hell wants to read their horoscope three days AFTER the fact (LOL).....
Birmingham News? Remember Carla Crowder? Formerly of the late Rocky Mountain News. Don’t see her name much anymore.
So, is it now just The Plain?

The Daily Dose is becoming the Thrice Weekly Wipe ping!
Good. That means there are now four days a week when people in Cleveland aren’t being lied to by their newspaper.
The only newspaper I have delivered is the Sunday edition of the Pittsburgh Tribune Review and mainly for the comics and coupons. If I wanted to, I could read the comics online and I figure eventually, coupons will all be online too.
Newspaper delivery was cool back in the day. Young boys like my brother used to make spending money delivering the paper. It was a good learning experience for children. Now our papers are delivered by “drive-by” adults who throw the paper from a moving vehicle and who knows where it might land? It’s more of a nuisance to have the paper delivered than it is to pick up a copy at the local store.

The Cleveland Pig Sqealer has been on its way out years ago. Twice it campaigned for Obambozo and still has a weepy tear, knee jerk reaction to every lame-brained stupid libtard idea that comes along. The former Cleveland Press wasn’t much better. But, I won’t miss the Pig Squealer.
