The Rocky Mountain News is going down too.
http://newsosaur.blogspot.com/2009/01/squeeze-is-on-for-no-2-papers.html
"In the cases of both the Rocky Mountain News in Denver and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the owners of the newspapers engaged in joint-operating agreements have said they will shut their papers if buyers are not located within a matter of weeks. Given that buyers are unlikely to emerge in the most toxic environment for newspapers in history, the announcements amount to death warrants."

Does anyone feel badly that the liberal medium of record is going belly up? Perhaps the good people within these orgs can come on with center or center right groups that still understand something about supply and demand and Americans?
