My stupid paper is endorsing Bush |
|
http://www.mlive.com/news/kzgazette/index.ssf?/base/columns-1/1099222348296870.xmlSo stupid. Here's my favorite part: In the past four years, we have been outspoken critics of the Bush administration. We expect that will continue. Uh, nope. You'll be outspoken critics of the KERRY administration.

5. My dh has been wanting me to cancel even before this |
|
It really isn't a very good paper, even beyond this. Of all the daily Michigan papers, it's probably the worst, quality wise.

10. Don't Cancel...Downgrade! |
|
If you take the paper 7 days and can cut back to 5...that cuts big bucks from the paper since Sunday is the circulation numbers the big ad agencies look at. Plus they see you're not spending what you used to.
I've found "downsizing" companies that piss me off gets more attention that cancelling or outright economic warfare. Nothing hurts a selfish corporate than a slowly sinking bottom line.
Definitely let 'em know what you think, and keep on 'em. Even better, find out what quid pro quo the paper gets from supporting this regime since there's no moral way anyone can promote this plundering of so much of the country.

The Pueblo Chieftain is owned by Bob Rawlings, a Republican asshole who would endorse Hitler if he had an (R) after his name.

8. I think most publishers are Repubs |
|
And most TV stations are owned by Repubs as well.
Which pretty well kills the myth that the media are liberal.

There isn't much news in it. I guess we get it for the ads and to find out what's happening locally.
I don't think we'll bother keeping it going though. We can save the money and spare a few trees.
