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?

Did the writer spew this garbage in a hot tub with Jayson Blair and Blair’s favorite former boss, Pinch?
This cranky 58 yr old thinks feminists are idiots.
You know you’ve really tweaked someone when they refer to you as this person did in the article. In a word, pathetic.
BTW, where are you hiding those feminist women? Inquiring minds would like to know.
Let’s see, we’re about as anti-abortion as any internet sight could be, yet this is supposed to be a feminist haven now. Well, Jim, you sure know how to attract the feminists bud.
There are commentaries all the time on men’s issues here. You better be careful. You could lose your core base of support.
Take care bud.
“Do you have any idea what he is talking about?”
For about two decades, I have felt that editors should run drug tests on their op ed liars, er writers and then on themselves before they approve of bs like this.
What might be interesting to research ... the RISE in FR membership compared to the decline of NY SLIMES subscribers.
It’s the soy, Jim.
You’ve got to cut out the Soy!
*giggle*
Are these people for real?
This Peterson guy is a nutball.
Just another flame throwing article by a Liberal Looney!
The only “crippled” thing here is his brain.
Comments like that smacks of a wretched upbringing.
That being said, insulting comments about our Fearless Leader will NOT be tolerated!
He needs a good ZOT!
Funny, I see more women hating posts than I do man hating posts. Maybe this person should have taken a look at some of the divorce threads or child support threads.
He also took that stupid, ugly, unnecessary “crippled owner” swipe.
Oh, oh. Am I gonna be banned?
I can't say I've ever felt constrained. For the record, let me say that feminism is an evil ideology.
As an offshoot of Marxism, feminism takes root in the bad behavior of both men and women. It is the inevitable growing pain of a society where wealth has become so widespread, people start to think they are gods with no responsibility to form and protect families. The first step toward it is an increase in infidelity by average males. The second step is females trying to avoid getting hurt, and eventually swearing off men in advance. And then those females try to mess up the marriages and prospects of other females.
In other words, feminism is an understandable emotional response and life-strategy, but as policy, it is always self-contradictory and confused, being built on falsehoods about history and human nature. Feminism draws its broadest appeal and support through the exploitation of envy, spite, fear, and pride. The first American feminists were pro-life and pro-chastity, but unfortunately, I think they didn't understand the emotional consequences of their ideas. As a philosophy, feminism leads logically to selfishness, and hence to promiscuity, homosexuality, and induced abortion.
On the bright side, I believe our society is beginning to out-grow feminism.
Back off of Sarah!
She was more ready than the fool from arizona!
The only anti-feminazi stuff I've seen posted here was usually posted by me.
I am a mother of two. A Daughter and a Son.
I understand equality, even if the feminazis don't.
:-)
Yes — what the heck are they talking about???
It’s a requirement to be mental in order to be a “journalist”.
Woo hoo!! A real man eating feminist if ever I saw one.
Yes, that’s what I was referencing. Good grief, what a loser comment. Even if the guy’s comments had merit, which they didn’t, they guy would have destroyed his credibility with that unacceptable remark.
"Feminism" HA!
I triple dog dare you, moderators.
(Don't make me look stupid, OK? OK?)
