May I suggest, fireing that worthless piece of Shite Joel Connelly.
Connelly works for the P.I.
My guess is that a huge chunk of their costs are related to newsprint and the cost of printing and shipping the paper, and that their new economic model - if it works - will be much more Internet based.
don't read the Boston Globe here... lying rag of a paper
If they are very lucky and work very hard at it.
I haven’t subscribed to a paper since the 80s, and that is in SE Florida.
Before that, I was burning them after reading, but I soon realized that that was a particularly nasty type of pollution, so I stopped.
They aren’t even good to wrap the fish in anymore. - you never can get that smell out of the fish.
Employees of the Times' sister paper The Seattle Post-Intelligencer (or simply, "Pee Eye") were seen in a circle around a bonfire (stoked by blocks of a green, leafy substance, the odor of the smoke hinting strongly of burning rope) singing Kumbayah. A senior editor delivered a spittle-flinging, incoherent eulogy laden with numerous references to saints Rather and Couric before collapsing in a wracking, sobbing heap and tugging at his forelock.
The final act of the memorial "togetherness experience" involved the signing of a petition to draft Hugo Chavez for the Democratic Presidential nomination.
Funeral services will be held at the Evergreen State College.
Ya are one WILD AND CRAZY GUY!!!
The fact that they lasted this longs attestes to how far left Seattle has gone. They’re now going to “tax” for food in the garbage?
Oh it is the PI reporting about the Times. I guess I got it mixed up.
Have a happy New Year!
Be careful old man, “Don’t hurt yourself!:)
This data gives me a really great warm feeling all over on a cold day in N California:
Blethen noted that the McClatchy Co., which owns 49.5 percent of the controlling stock of The Times Co., has twice written down the value of that holding.
“The shares were valued at “well over $200 million” when the Sacramento, Calif.-based company acquired them through its $4.1 billion purchase of Knight Ridder Inc. in June 2006, he said. They were valued at “only $19 million” last month, he said.”
At first glance, there appears to be one hell of a lot of Enronning if the Shares were valued at $200 million in June of 2006 falling to 19 million in November. Those books had been over cooked and stretched.
Our local fishwrap is doing something different.
Last week on Thursday and this Thursday in the mail not in the Fishwrap, we received addressed to our address, the Thur/Friday classified ads of the Fishwrap with 3 inserts in the classifieds. One insert was from a local store, and two were biggies, Walmart and an electronic chain store.
Our younger son noted that in his new neighborhood, only one house gets any newspaper. That household may discontinue because of the noisy delivery pickup. They are getting complaints from their neighbors being awakened at 3-4 am for the delivery of the fishwrap.
We have friends, who live in a very exclusive locked gate community of 50 homes. Their last homeowner meeting nearly became a boxing match. 5 home owners still get the NY Slimes and San Francisco Gay Rhonicle, and the delivery truck wakes everyone up at about 4 am. The 5 elite liberals from NYC and LA want their Slimes and Gay Rhonicle inspite of the negative impact on the other home owners. We may see lawsuits on this before it is over or some punched out fishwrap lovers.
Our son and DIL, 60 miles away receive the local fishwrap free every Friday with ads and inserts in it. As noted before, no one in their cul de sac buys/subscribes to any fishwrap.
Excellent news. MSM taking it on the ass pretty hard.
This is the same paper where cheers erupted in the newsroom when Rove announced his resignation.
Say WA? Evergreen State ping
FReepmail sionnsar if you want on or off this ping list.
Ping sionnsar if you see a Washington state related thread.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!
