The Miami Herald and Chicago Tribune have practically announced bankruptcy and are both now valued at less than the value of the real estate they own (prime bay-front property in Miami and a skyscraper in Chicago).
Even better, McClatchy Newspapers itself, a newspaper chain with a documented anti-male bias, is saddled with so much debt that it will probably not last through 2009...

A vestige of Andrew Marton’s article can be found at FreeRepublic.com where you can see that this once-conservative forum is now dominated by man-hating old women and FReepers discussing the story were no allowed to mention the word feminism in regard to the FReeper nmh’s hate-filled diatribes against men who would date foreign women (I know first-hand that any such comments mentioning feminism were deleted).
Exhibit C: The forum FreeRepublic.com was once a place for conservative men to bash feminism freely and often. It was the favorite topic for years. But, since early 2006, most anti-feminist FReepers have had their accounts deleted so as not to antagonize the aging baby boomer females the crippled owner, Jim Robinson, wants to keep in the Republican Party. Jim Robinson’s attitude seems to be just like that of Rupert Murdoch of Fox News…he seems to think that “strong feminist women” should be the backbone of the Republican Party. This is insane. I do NOT think these men are motivated by the concept that 80% of corporate purchase decisions are made by women.
It is easy to logon as a member of the once-mighty conservative FreeRepublic.com. Try doing so and mentioning feminism in a comment somewhere. See how quickly you can be deleted.
Then watch how the readership of the blog has fallen considerably since they turned feminist.
Where was the monetary advantage for this conservative forum to go feminist?

That sexist on their part Jim
OH LORDY
LOL!
What ratio of men/women on FR forum
Myself, I’m enjoying watching the Dinosaur Media starve...
We are a bunch of lesbians with thick moustaches. You didn’t get the memo?
Same here. It’s been a long time coming and they’ve done it to themselves.
Whatever happened to FairOpinion, somehow she missed the cut on this story?
Cowgirl, how many men have you sneered at today?
Maybe a cabal which keeps you in a bubble? LoL.
Well Jim,
I am old and a woman. Does that make me more eligible than most to post on FR?
ROTFLOL
Not me, I’m a cutie who loves and respects ‘most’ men.
Feninism
Femanism
Finninism
See!! You can’t do it!!!
LOL! Start up a good gun post and see what the ratio is...
Do you have any idea what he is talking about?
Just don’t say feminism and you’ll be fine.
Ooooops! LOL
The Papers are just going to be a paper version of an IBM Selectric.
Feminism, feminism, feminism... And they just announced bankruptcy for Tribune Co. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28101775/?GT1=43001
I will take note. LOL
I have been here since long before my sign-up date, and am an “old woman”.
Never noticed much anti-feminism here, and can’t say I have seen and man-hating old women either.
Wonder where this guy gets his misinformation?
Feminism sucks! Shave your armpits! The Indigo Girls are lame! Gloria Steinham is a dude!
let me test this guy’s theory:
1. I hereby post that Ellen and Rosie have no constitutional right to marry their sme sex partners.
2. Although I like Palin and her conservative stances, I don’t think that she was, or is yet, ready for prime time.
3. Hillary is constitutionally inellible for the post of Sec of State.
4. Pelosi should sue her platic surgeon.
5. feninism has been taken off the radar by environmentalism...which is run by men..like all gore
Hey, Margaret Thatcher was the kind of feminist I support. Real power, obtained legitimately and used wisely.
Now, lets see if my post is deleted?
“It is easy to logon as a member of the once-mighty conservative FreeRepublic.com. Try doing so and mentioning feminism in a comment somewhere. See how quickly you can be deleted.”
Feminism is just not lady-like.
(Just testing. Am I still here?)
You ladies are needed over on this thread.
I hate radical feminists!
I hate radical feminists!
I hate radical feminists!
(checking to see if I’m still here)
I hate radical feminists!
(yep)
Well, it seems that Mr. Peterson must be from a parallel universe, where the sky on his planet is fuchsia or something.
And now I going to return to bashing some, er, bashing some, er.
Oh Hell, I’ll think of it or them in a second!
Wow,this guy must be writing from some alternate universe.
It’s like reading bad science fiction.
Jim honey, does that mean I have to hate men in order to post?
I musta missed that memo too. Who's responsible for distributing the Change in Principal memoranda?
Most of us here in those situations don’t date foreign women, we married them. Big difference.
Maybe they misread when some of us posted that we used to listen to Foreigner.
Ann Coulter rules - Gloria Steinem drools.
I thought most of them left for WAnkerville back in the Bug Zapper days.
This Jim Peterson creep sounds reeeeeeeeally jealous to me. As Ayn Rand said, only mediocrities are jealous of those who achieve more than they do. And throwing in the “crippled owner” barb is so low and vile that I can’t find words to express my disgust. Betcha this guy was once a FReeper and got zotted for stupidity.
“the Statue of Liberty is kaput, that’s disconcerting” Who is jim Peterson?
OK: feminism
fem in is mmmm
Still here....
still here....
Hmph. Sounds like someone's pajama cap is a little to tight.
You won’t be banned. You cleverly misspelled “pla[s]tic surgeon” and al[l] gore to placate the Gods of ZOT :)
But, try misspelling ZOT[T] and see what happens...
Gee,not only are us conservatives are all beer-drinking, bitter, gun-nuts. We also hate women.
Or maybe we hate the fact that the feminazi movement is less about equal rights for women and more about nonsense like the vagina monologues and abortion-on-demand as birth control (something which a significant plurality of women oppose as well).
There was so much good news in that story. The leftest media is collapsing. Wooohooo. It is too bad that the author had to ruin a perfectly good story with the feminism crap.
So does this mean that Shiela and Amy are going to run the show?
FOTFLOL
Once it's up for review (takes 4 votes to do that) should be a trivial matter to extend the ruling to cover the 12th amendment prohibition on Hillary serving as a Cabinet officer.
She can't go back to the Senate. Obama has already resigned. He can't go back to the Senate. And the Electors get to chose from the three top candidates, who are McCain and a couple of other guys.
That'd take McCain OUT of the senate.
So, we get rid of two mind-numbed, robot-like, knee-jerk Liberals and a Rino from the Senate.
Sounds like a good day's work.
Jim, don’t let it get you down. Everybody is entitled to a rant now and then, and Men’s News Daily has just had theirs.
I won't even take a free copy of the News and Disturber from Raleigh when offered.
Guess the status quo of kool-aid drinker paper readers is going by the wayside and the Dina-sour lib 'journalsh$ts' hate not be able to get money for slanting, deceiving, omitting, etc. to the public so they can push the socialist agenda.
As to FreeRepublic gone feminist - couldn't be further from the truth (and I am an "older woman (well at least over 40)" who loves men NOT hates them.
I'd never hang around FR if it were feminist dominated. I get enough pc bs every where else!
Sounds to me like Peterson decided to make up a bunch of crap to see the reaction he would get.
Feminist, huh??? I’ve read FR for several years, close to daily and have never seen the slightest inclination toward radical feminism. Fairness, certainly - toward both men and women, based on ability. Keep up the good work, JimRob!!
I’m in touch with my inner-lesbian.
It most certainly does! Call it your experience...at least that is appreciated by a least on middle-age wus male according to the article.
"feminism"
See how quickly you can be deleted.
The clock is ticking.
“Just don’t say feminism and you’ll be fine.”
So the Feminazis, now hags, and dykes on bikes wont get angry with anything but that word?
Good to know.
