I must admit I am enjoying this decline. These folks have been so arrogant for soooooo long it does one’s heart good to see them get theirs.
bump
My heart just bleeds.
I am deeply saddened. On second thought...GO PUT SOME ICE ON THAT!
paperboys hit hardest.
We’re deeply concerned ..................... not!
All right the DBM finally figured out a way to tie there problems on President Bush.
Next thing they will be asking for subsidies.
Say I want a house on the south side of town in the range of $150k-$200k that's two stories on at least 1/3 acre of land, I don't want to search through column after column of other houses. I want to enter my requirements, get a list and then start looking at pictures and maps. That's about as far from non-interactive ink and paper as you can get.
But, but, just a year ago the REALTORS(TM) said everything was going to be ok!?
Here's a story about how McClatchy Newspapers' stock (which includes the America-hating Sacramento Bee) is now downgraded to a "sell", and that their ad revenues declined 5 consecutive quarters, the last of which declined nearly (are you sitting down?) NINE percent.
Pick up the Bee and you will see them cheerleading for an economic downturn, and scaring the heck out of folks about the housing market "crisis".
They try to potty on the economy seeing political advantage (and like 100% of all leftists) never seem to realize that it hurts them too.
It also never occurs to papers such as the Bee that readers just like me are so repelled and alienated by their America-hating activism, that they are canceling their subscriptions; thus, lowering the subscription count, and further driving away advertisers.
Pity.
I have a friend who owns a local town rag (actually a pretty conservative rag) and he says that Craig’s List is hammering his classifieds. Not sure if this includes real estate. But frankly if I was buying a house I don’t think I would even think to look at the paper first - there are some pretty good real estate websites around IMHO.
So besides people who shouldn’t have borrowed money in the first place, the “crisis” is also affecting the commie newspapers?? Better and better.
