Newspapers Censor Their Way to Oblivion

Bears repeating: In the past three years, McClatchy has seen its share prices drop about 95 percent from the $50 to the $3 range.

Many more good examples of MSM bias/stupidity can be found in the original article here.

Our only local paper is a Gannett rag, which I promptly canceled the day after it endorsed Obomba.

[Frantzie]

I cancelled my local newspaper years ago due to left wing bias. These papers deserve to die. They hire left wing journalism students. I saw this even at the Wall Street Journal years ago where a WSJ employee was a flaming lib.

IdahoStatesman is owned by McClatchy. I’d like to see them go under too.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

I found how the World had been misled by prostitute Writers,
to ascribe the greatest Exploits in War to Cowards,
the wisest Counsel to Fools,
Sincerity to Flatterers,
Roman Virtue to Betrayers of their Country,
Piety to Atheists,
Chastity to Sodomites,
Truth to Informers.

Since the time of that email, McClatchy has seen its share prices drop from the $50 to the $3 range.

That is just a crying shame:)

Since the time of that email, McClatchy has seen its share prices drop from the $50 to the $3 range.

Now trading around $1.70.

Maybe they hope Obama will make Newspapers mandatory. They could also be fatalistic knowing newspapers are a dying business, why not write what you want.

The KC Star was always a rag. Harry S. Truman had no use for them either.

[JimSEA]

With the Democrat in the House and Senate voicing their approval, we have bailed out the Banks, insurance industry, and next GM. Is there any reason to doubt that in a Obama Nation, “essential” newspapers and TV networks will also feel the kind caress of government funds (Yours and my taxes at work)

[what's up]

Newspaper bailout coming?

[sport]

You Betchya! The Democrats are not about to lose their propganda machine.

[MountainPete]

"Whom the gods would destroy, they first make crazy."

No doubt there's some bailout money earmarked for the "free" press...mayhap it will someday be free and we'll finally get what we're paying for.

[Mind-numbed Robot]

This campaign season The Kansas City Star passed on a parcel (passel ?) of the nation's most eye-popping stories. Incredibly, at least five of those stories flared up in the Star's home state, Missouri. As the reader might guess, all five stories reflected unfavorably on Democratic candidates.

It would be interesting to know the specific facts of those stories.

I received a phone call from our liberal rag The Seattle Times. The woman on the phone said “We noticed that you’re not receiving the Times. We want to sign you up for home delivery” ... “We noticed??????”

Being lady like I did not tell her where she could put the subscription ... I did tell her that the paper was really good for wrapping the salmon I caught .....

-- I received a phone call from our liberal rag The Seattle Times. The woman on the phone said "We noticed that you're not receiving the Times. We want to sign you up for home delivery" --

I used to get calls like that, and my response was to say I was already getting the home delivery, and I was simply delighted with the paper. They stopped calling.

The Tennessean has resorted to giving the paper away to boost its number of “readers”. The first time they called ad offered, I took it. But I rapidly realized that I never read it and the papers were just another thing to take to the dump so I canceled. Before I got on the Do Not Call list, they would call every couple of months trying to give their trash away.

[17th Miss Regt]

This is worth repeating.

These papers deserve to die.

For the good of the environment printing presses need to be banned. /sarcasm

Since these pinherads want to print lies and Marxist propaganda, let’s feed their stories back to them. Paper printing kills trees, destroyes forests, uses gas to transport all that stuff, not to mention the inks are a poison. So, since the printed press says all that, let’s ban the printed press. Everything must be electronic from now on.
