Oh, how the mighty have fallen. The NY Times reported the sale price was one dollar plus assumption of liabilities. Karma for all those nasty anti-Trump front pages?

“Adding an MORonic media property like The Daily News not only expands our tremendous portfolio of newspaper brands.”

Notice “brands” not NEWSPAPERS. Print media is dying.

New York Daily News, not the New York Times. Hopefully it won’t go full tilt Leftist.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

This is reality hitting big media markets like New York. The city doesn’t need 3 or 4 dailies. No one reads them anymore. And the News always struggled to find its niche. It certainly isn’t the conservative paper. And the city’s liberal elites read the NY Times if they want liberal invective. And I guess no one wants a down market, highly partisan liberal paper. They ought to just put it out of its misery. This new company is going to experience nothing but losses too.

The New York Daily News, a tabloid that once boasted one of the highest daily circulations in the nation,

It STILL has one of the highest daily circulations in the nation. ALL papers are down (except maybe WSJ). That said, I do remember when the New York Daily News ranked ahead of both the New York Post and Newsday.

Rank Newspaper             Owner                                        Circulation
01   New York Times      New York Times Company              2,237,601
02   Long Island Newsday Patrick Dolan and Charles Dolan         512,118
03   Los Angeles Times    tronc, Inc.                          507,395
04   New York Post      News Corp.   424,721
05   Dallas Morning News     A. H. Belo Corp.  410,587
06   Chicago Tribune   tronc, Inc.  384,962

The NY Daily News used to be a decent paper with good, well written stories. Now, it’s frightfully cookie cutter libtard. It might as well be an official organ of the Dummocrap party. You can predict, without having to read them, that all the stories will be very heavily slanted against Trump, against any conservative, and very pro all causes dear to libtard bleeding hearts. They even have a prominent section called “Immigration Rights”, giving illegal criminal invaders all kinds of helpful advice on how to break U.S. law and hide themselves, etc. I find it physically nauseating now to read the NY Daily News. This paper is now perhaps fit to wipe yourself with and that’s about it. It would be worth more shredded and added to your compost pile than read.

1 dollar plus liabilities was the sale price for Newsweek as well IIRC.

[miserare]

Wow! The end of the newspaper era. I started reading the Daily News when I was 6 years old! Haven’t touched it for the past 20 years, though.

[1Old Pro]

The Daily News is known for it’s Leftist bent, who would buy such a mess?

[ichabod1]

Well in their defense the liabilities are probably astronomical... :-b
