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?

Hey, Margaret Thatcher was the kind of feminist I support. Real power, obtained legitimately and used wisely.

Now, lets see if my post is deleted?

Feminism is just not lady-like.

Well, it seems that Mr. Peterson must be from a parallel universe, where the sky on his planet is fuchsia or something.

And now I going to return to bashing some, er, bashing some, er.

Oh Hell, I’ll think of it or them in a second!

Jim Robinson and Free Republic have gone feminist? FreeRepublic.com a once-conservative forum is now dominated by man-hating old women? Why am I always the last to know these things?

I musta missed that memo too. Who's responsible for distributing the Change in Principal memoranda?

Most of us here in those situations don’t date foreign women, we married them. Big difference.

Maybe they misread when some of us posted that we used to listen to Foreigner.

I thought most of them left for WAnkerville back in the Bug Zapper days.

This Jim Peterson creep sounds reeeeeeeeally jealous to me. As Ayn Rand said, only mediocrities are jealous of those who achieve more than they do. And throwing in the “crippled owner” barb is so low and vile that I can’t find words to express my disgust. Betcha this guy was once a FReeper and got zotted for stupidity.

You won’t be banned. You cleverly misspelled “pla[s]tic surgeon” and al[l] gore to placate the Gods of ZOT :)

But, try misspelling ZOT[T] and see what happens...

Gee,not only are us conservatives are all beer-drinking, bitter, gun-nuts. We also hate women.

Or maybe we hate the fact that the feminazi movement is less about equal rights for women and more about nonsense like the vagina monologues and abortion-on-demand as birth control (something which a significant plurality of women oppose as well).

There was so much good news in that story. The leftest media is collapsing. Wooohooo. It is too bad that the author had to ruin a perfectly good story with the feminism crap.

Hillary? You mean the Hildabeast, right? Anyway, the trick is to get her to resign from the Senate before Scalia's targeted case on Presidential eligibility moves forward in the USSC.

Once it's up for review (takes 4 votes to do that) should be a trivial matter to extend the ruling to cover the 12th amendment prohibition on Hillary serving as a Cabinet officer.

She can't go back to the Senate. Obama has already resigned. He can't go back to the Senate. And the Electors get to chose from the three top candidates, who are McCain and a couple of other guys.

That'd take McCain OUT of the senate.

So, we get rid of two mind-numbed, robot-like, knee-jerk Liberals and a Rino from the Senate.

Sounds like a good day's work.

Jim, don’t let it get you down. Everybody is entitled to a rant now and then, and Men’s News Daily has just had theirs.
