More news on the demise of the ToM (Tired old Media)

Mutual fund ownership is shown below. Mutual fund ownership of these crumbling MSM fishwraps is very troubling. 42% of this loser's ownership is via mutual funds. Why are the fund managers investing the savings of their fund owners with the whip and buggy fish wraps?

I cancelled my last print subscription last week - The Boston Herald.

True, the Boston Herald is a conservative voice in Boston. But I've been very disappointed with the quality of the paper lately. There is very little hard news and the front page (as well as many pages inside) are gradually being given over to celebrity/gossip crap. It's getting to be an embarrasment having that thing land on my driveway because it looks like the National Enquirer now.

There are still some good editorials buried in the Herald but since those are readily available on the internet, there is really no more reason to get the paper itself.

I let the office know all this when I cancelled the subscription. Don't know what good it will do but if they hear from enough people, maybe they will make a change.
