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...

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?

I won't even take a free copy of the News and Disturber from Raleigh when offered.
Guess the status quo of kool-aid drinker paper readers is going by the wayside and the Dina-sour lib 'journalsh$ts' hate not be able to get money for slanting, deceiving, omitting, etc. to the public so they can push the socialist agenda.
As to FreeRepublic gone feminist - couldn't be further from the truth (and I am an "older woman (well at least over 40)" who loves men NOT hates them.
I'd never hang around FR if it were feminist dominated. I get enough pc bs every where else!
Sounds to me like Peterson decided to make up a bunch of crap to see the reaction he would get.
Feminist, huh??? I’ve read FR for several years, close to daily and have never seen the slightest inclination toward radical feminism. Fairness, certainly - toward both men and women, based on ability. Keep up the good work, JimRob!!
I’m in touch with my inner-lesbian.
It most certainly does! Call it your experience...at least that is appreciated by a least on middle-age wus male according to the article.
"feminism"
See how quickly you can be deleted.
The clock is ticking.
“Just don’t say feminism and you’ll be fine.”
So the Feminazis, now hags, and dykes on bikes wont get angry with anything but that word?
Good to know.
Ya gotta keep up, Jim. ;^)
Must be at the make-up counter or maybe while searching for some extra tall pantyhose to match his new pumps.
Bizarre.
I hadn’t notice that FR has turned feminist. Plenty of strong women around here, and some of them older no doubt, but I never heard any of them boasting that they were feminists.
Sarah Palin is a pretty strong woman, too. Does that make her a feminist? I don’t think so.
Huh. It seems he's all wrapped up about some thread where nmh had some posts deleted? So? So have I a couple times. I was even suspended once for being argumentative, albeit for a very short time.
But then the posts he's apparently upset about aren't available for consideration, having been deleted, so there's nothing to judge his anger by. A nice bit of journalistic cover up there. nmh having been around since 1998, I'd say this is all a big case of silliness.
All in the space of a few hundred words.
If the newspapers printed more of that, maybe they wouldn’t be dying.
Who’d a thunk it ? !
The author is nuts.
I never got the memo that this used to be a women hating site. I'm always the last to know...
You forgot to mention “inellible” and “sme”
Jim.....your Free Republic site has been a thorn in the left’s side for over 10 yrs......so you must be doing something right for them to boo like this ! But the attacks seem to be getting shriller and shriller.....and funnier and funnier.
Freepers as Man Hating Old Women indeed !!
I wonder who will be the first to use that as their freeper name?
