Thanks for the heads.

Just remember Gibbs’ Rule #39: “There is no such thing as a coincidence.”

“Where I stay USA today is no longer provided!”

‘Guests read their phones or laptops.’

That by itself would have had a huge negative impact on the sales of this anti America rag.

Generally, the plan by the “private equity” groups is to loot the company and then bankrupt it wiping out the other shareholders.

Should be at least 3 years before the Chapter 11 gets filed.

Is that why they are often referred to as Vultures?

a $1.8-billion loan from private equity firm Apollo Global Management. That will have to be paid back.

Good luck with that.

Really?

Toobin and the others in the lying media are the reason people think the news media are a bunch of leftist liars.

They will not be missed by those of us who love America...

Who's keeping an eye on the Chamber and service clubs now that the local reporters are gone?

The vulture funds usually attack companies that are already on the ropes. A venture capital fund will frequently go after a more or less healthy company since there is more money to grab. The real vultures may show up with a round of post-petition financing.

In any event, potential for me down the road picking over the carcass in bankruptcy.

Newspapers aren’t bought for news that much anymore.
More news on the net, tv, radio, etc.

Evil ( on several different levels ) and lying Toobin knows that :: Toobin and the others in the lying media are the reason the news media are a bunch of leftist liars.

Toobin was a member of the infamous Journ-0-List.. a secret (no longer) enclave of Washington journalists / haters of the US Constitution who strategized on how to move forward the Deep State agenda.

Toobin had an extramarital affair and a child with Casey Greenfield who happens to be the daughter of journalist Jeff Greenfield... as a deadbeat dad , Toobin refused to pay child support for his son .

When he refused to pay , Greenfield’s lawyer threatened to notify his employers and garnish his wages; Toobin then paid up...

A good grand jury system.

Please don’t waste my time defending reporters at any level.
