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?

I’m in touch with my inner-lesbian.

I introduced one of my brothers to a friend; he thought she was mighty cute and asked me if he might have a chance asking her out. When I told him he'd probably not get very far because she was a lesbian, he thought for a bit and said: "But ... I'm a lesbian, too! I'm a lesbian trapped in a male body! We've got LOTS in common!"

*sigh*

That’s funny, I could have sworn most of us here wanted Sarah Palin at the top of the ticket in Nov. Last time I checked Sarah Palin was a woman.(And a damn good looking one too)

I like strong women ... in heels, with fishnet stockings, and a whip ... smoking and whipping their hair around while they order me about, calling me names ...

Wait ... is that what he is talking about?

Nevermind ... forget I said anything ...

Well then, you should be banned twice because you used them in two consecutive sentences. Shame. For Shame...

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?

Beats me, Jim. I'm a middle-aged woman (43) and I bash feminism all the time. I'm on the record for loving the same man for 25 years now, too. ;-)

Sorry, Jim. I didn’t know being a feminist was a prerequisite for joining FR. Therefore, I assume that I have broken some kind of rule. Apologies. ;)

Liberal Columbia, NYU and Berkeley graduates...

Let your f’ing Jesus Christ Imman Allah, Barack Hussein Obama fill your gas tank, pay your mortgage and give you a green job changing solar panels or painting bike lanes on former freeways...

You have been programmed to hate America and the ridiculous maggots who have brainwashed you will truly understand what Marxims is...taking all wealth from individuals and companies and consolidating it to the Government...where a Bureaucrat will distrubute it back to the people at his discretion.

Ever gone to the city planning office for a zoning variance? Ever been to the DMV? Ever had a relative have to change an address at Social Security? Ever been to the Post Office at noon?

The journalists who literally cried at Obama’s election by their lies and ommissions will now understand the meaning of “wanting fries with that.”

I hate to take pleasure in others misery, but the lying, loser journalists of most MSM outlets need to be fired, anyway. The ironic part is that if they actually were FAIR about their reporting, they would have sufficient ad revenues and circulation to keep their jobs.

Example of extreme MSM bias...I read on FR today that when AP listed Rahm Emmanuel’s resume, post-Clinton, it said “investment banking” when he was really a board member of Freddie Mac.

That maggot should lose his job and I welcome the pink slip.
