Major Newspapers Will Fail After Christmas - So Much for Pandering to Women... [FR dissed]
Mens News Daily ^ | Dec 8, 2008 | Jim Peterson

Posted on 12/08/2008 12:29:06 PM PST by Jim Robinson

The Miami Herald and Chicago Tribune have practically announced bankruptcy and are both now valued at less than the value of the real estate they own (prime bay-front property in Miami and a skyscraper in Chicago).

Even better, McClatchy Newspapers itself, a newspaper chain with a documented anti-male bias, is saddled with so much debt that it will probably not last through 2009...

~~snip~~

A vestige of Andrew Marton’s article can be found at FreeRepublic.com where you can see that this once-conservative forum is now dominated by man-hating old women and FReepers discussing the story were no allowed to mention the word feminism in regard to the FReeper nmh’s hate-filled diatribes against men who would date foreign women (I know first-hand that any such comments mentioning feminism were deleted).

Exhibit C: The forum FreeRepublic.com was once a place for conservative men to bash feminism freely and often. It was the favorite topic for years. But, since early 2006, most anti-feminist FReepers have had their accounts deleted so as not to antagonize the aging baby boomer females the crippled owner, Jim Robinson, wants to keep in the Republican Party. Jim Robinson’s attitude seems to be just like that of Rupert Murdoch of Fox News…he seems to think that “strong feminist women” should be the backbone of the Republican Party. This is insane. I do NOT think these men are motivated by the concept that 80% of corporate purchase decisions are made by women.

It is easy to logon as a member of the once-mighty conservative FreeRepublic.com. Try doing so and mentioning feminism in a comment somewhere. See how quickly you can be deleted.

Then watch how the readership of the blog has fallen considerably since they turned feminist.

Where was the monetary advantage for this conservative forum to go feminist?

Same here. It’s been a long time coming and they’ve done it to themselves.

Whatever happened to FairOpinion, somehow she missed the cut on this story?

Cowgirl, how many men have you sneered at today?

I have been here since long before my sign-up date, and am an “old woman”.

Never noticed much anti-feminism here, and can’t say I have seen and man-hating old women either.

Wonder where this guy gets his misinformation?

let me test this guy’s theory:

1. I hereby post that Ellen and Rosie have no constitutional right to marry their sme sex partners.

2. Although I like Palin and her conservative stances, I don’t think that she was, or is yet, ready for prime time.

3. Hillary is constitutionally inellible for the post of Sec of State.

4. Pelosi should sue her platic surgeon.

5. feninism has been taken off the radar by environmentalism...which is run by men..like all gore

Sounds like Jim Peterson has a case of FRDS (Free Republic Derangement Syndrome). ...now dominated by man-hating old women? Huh. Maybe it was DailyKos he was browsing.
