Good bye Detroit Free Press.
A once powerful voice of liberalism, the Detroit Free Press has become sub-par fish wrap.
It's recent acquisition by Gannett has turned it into yet another voice of the reich.
The recent letters to the editor, when having any political content at all, are 90% pro-Bush.
It is truly sad to see an institution with such a great past become nothing more than a waste of good wood pulp.

2. I'm not surprised. I remember the days when the Free Press arrived
in the morning and the Detroit News was the afternoon paper and boy they were as different as day and night.

What other media markets the size of Detroit has 2 newspapers anymore???
