Endorsements have consequences ...

BTW, I wonder if the Dallas Morning News is thinking about whether it’s too late to unendorse Hillary and if that would do them any good ...

We canceled the Orange County Register. We got an offer for the paper on only Thursday thru Sunday for around $25 for a year. We resubscribed at that rate. Before it was around $84 for 13 weeks. Huge savings.

“The most important thing to us is that they vote . . .”

Gosh, isn’t that a wonderfully pious, high-minded statement - unfortunately those jackwads forgot that a lot of people vote with their pocketbooks.

This “deplorable, Bible/gun clinging, misogynistic, racist, angry old white man” told the DMN where they could stick their paper, and it wasn’t in their mailbox. They endorsed Hillary Clinton on “principle”. REALLY??? Just exactly what “principle” are you referring to? The one where you endorse the most corrupt, traitorous and overblown-credentialed, hateful, mean-spirited gasbag in the history of our nation? REALLY??? No thanks. I will buy real toilet paper. No sense having my A$$ chapped twice!!! We have an old saying in Texas . . . “and the horse you road in on pardners”!!

Judging by the ratio of Libtards to anything else as far as faculty goes, our nation’s schools of journalism aren’t offering any relief whatsoever on the way.

We came away with two good things here.

Hillary will never ever be president, and she wanted it more than anything else in the world. And she will never get it.
We are spared an incredibly wicked selfish evil president Hillary.

Second, we have a non lawyer political outsider who is also a smart businessman as president, and he is far more comservative than he is liberal. He is an excellent choice for,the uniparty purge that needs to occur in both parties. Hopefull,ours first so that the dem socialists can be purged without mercy.

We need a slew of new environmental taxes on paper media. They just ran a story about how 1/3 of the trees are dead in cali and attributing under trump it will just get worse.

Tax print media for a paper use tax, and a paper bleaching tax. Plus a paper transporting tax, those,papers have to be driven to places for sales and people,drive cars to drop,them,on doorsteps, or puddles near doorsteps, or paper holders on mailbox posts. Lets start doing the same stuff libs do to things they want to get back at.

No mercy. No quarter. They give us none. They will then pass these taxes onto subscribers with higher rates and less will renew, dropping their income base.

Libs know this happens to the things they target. Now it is our turn.

No mercy, no quarter. They never had any for us.

Subscriptions go down in newspapers that print FAKE NEWS and give FAKE ENDORSEMENTS.

The press needs to be destroyed and rebuilt from scratch.

We cancelled our subscription to the Columbus Dispatch after they endorsed Clinton because Trump "wasn't conservative enough." Excuse me? Like Clinton is conservative enough?

This is the first time in my adult life (I am 63) that I have not subscribed to a newspaper. I seem to be surviving so far...

People understandably have this idealistic view of the media as people only interested in reporting the facts...regardless of how much people like us try to convince them that it’s not the case (and trust me, if you ever see the writings that people in ‘Journalism’ schools write, you’d throw up). They just write us off as a bunch of talk-radio brainwashed types.

But when THEIR newspaper, the space that they’ve trusted for decades, now outs themselves and their political agenda, everything we’ve told them is SHOVED IN THEIR FACES and they can’t ignore it...and so the cancellations.

The ONLY WAY this can end is when rich Tea Party types actually buy some of these outlets and replaces their staffs with people that are NOT ‘Journalism’ majors. In fact, I still don’t see why ‘Journalism’ should be a college major - what is so special about it, learning to plug-in a microphone to a camera? Get REAL PEOPLE that represent the community reporting the news and writing the editorials, and hell, I may even subscribe to paper editions (Houston Chronicle, in my case). Of course I don’t see that happening, so I’ll have to live with my $300/year savings by not subscribing.

“[S]ome people have cancelled their subscriptions, so we lost some customers at a time when it’s tough to lose customers,”


“CUSTOMERS” and that one word explains why newspapers are the way they are. They have forgotten what business they are in.

If you were to ask them what business they were in some would say information provider, or entertainment or news, and all would be wrong. What they are describing is bait for their real product, eyeballs.

Newspapers (and television news, and magazines) are all in the advertising business, that is where they make their money.

What gets printed on their pages is just content, bait if you will, to get as many people to look at their product and at the ads.

By choosing a political side they pretty much annoy half of their readers, and in this case many stopped their subscription and most likely never get back.

Nothing killed newspapers, they committed suicide.
