Orange County is one of the richest counties in California and the nation. OC has a highly educated population. Financially well off and educated potential readers are there, and still this Fish Wrap slips into the Dinosaur Fish Wrap category.
If a fishwrap in OC falls into the Dinosaur Fish Wrap category in this country during good economic times, there isn't much hope for newspapers in this country.
How can this be good news, unless you're an LA Times fan? While I disagree with the Register's editorial position in favor of open borders and legalizing drugs, its op-ed page provices forums for Thomas Sowell, Deroy Murdock, and many other conservative writers one can't find anywhere else in the Southland. The Register is one of the few remaining conservative-leaning papers in the entire country.
