Ha-Ha, your medium is dying!

You mean Mark Morford is going to have to turn burgers for the great unwashed in order to make his bills? Oh please! PLEEEEEASE!
“If it can’t reduce expenses dramatically within the next few weeks, the Hearst Corp. said it will close or sell the Chronicle, northern California’s largest newspaper with a paid weekday circulation of 339,430.’
They’re all twittering up there now...
This is a dreadful paper.
Yeah, I’m all tore up about this.
Memo to all leftist Obama worshipping propaganda dead tree newspapers:
You have destroyed all your credibility and circulation.
SO DIE ALREADY!
Is it bad to want to cheer?
Happy days are here again, the news is full of cheer again,...
One of the most horrid newspapers on the face of the earth. No sorrow here.
Yeaaaah!
Unfortunately there are some legitimate businesses that rely on newspapers and although they do not support these papers’ leftwing politics they will lose customers.
Well, being that the movie was released in 1941, he came pretty close. Only off by 8 years.
I must say, playing devils advocate, I can go online and read any newspaper for free, poor liberal jounalism notwithstanding. Before the internet I subscribed to the Washington Times and my local paper. Now I read them both for free online. Doesn’t seem like good business sense to me. Obviously web advert dollars don’t support them. I would be willing to pay a small online fee for good newspapers.
They can’t go out of business soon enough, in my opinion.
I hope the Mercury News is next.
Both are anti-American, anti-family, anti-capitalist tools of our enemies.
Their bias is every bit as blatant in their articles as it is in their editorials.
BANKRUPT the ENEMEDIA!
Good F’n riddance.
--It is not reader-friendly. There are too many sections that are about 8 pages each. It's hard to find the sports section without disassembling the entire paper. Do we really need a Wine section?
--The internet/24 hour news channels.
--Blurring the lines between news and opinion.
--Functioning as a cheerleader for reporters/editors' favorite politicians.
Ultimately, the Chron is suffering what has undermined the entire newspaper business: too many people entering journalism who "want to make a difference" instead of a love of writing or because of the excitment of the profession. There is a place for advocacy journalism (Village Voice, Bay Guardian, the gay weeklies) but it has no place in a major daily newspaper. To focus on the far left is a bad business decision.
BYE!
