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.
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.
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.

That is just a crying shame:)
The KC Star was always a rag. Harry S. Truman had no use for them either.
Newspaper bailout coming?
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.
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 .....
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.
The thing that amazes me about newspapers is that even the small town papers in conservative areas have the same leftist editorial bias as the NYT. The editors seem to think that being a brainwashed commie RAT is the only editorial stance they can take.
The on going tri state water war between FLA, GA and Ala has raged for 25 years and is now in federal court. Obama in west Fla during the campaign jumped into the middle of it pandering for electoral votes and said he thought FLA’s poistion should be upheld by the courts, knowing full well he was not going to win in GA or ALA. Did the Atlanta Journal-Constitution report his remarks? Not one word even though it is full of stories about our water difficulties.
Conservative mantra - 'We don't need your stinking newspaper'
Either way....newspapers are screwed....
McClatchy paper in Anchorage is the same as The Star. Totally out of touch with the community. Suffering the same fate with staff layoffs, cutbacks and loss of readership too.
If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, what does that make McClatchy? Can a corporation be labeled insane?
“News”papers treat their readers like mushrooms; Feed ‘em sh!t and keep ‘em in the dark.
