TWO (2) QUATLOOS*
>>>Denver public-relations employment consultant Andrew Hudson this week proposed creation of a sales tax to subsidize ailing newspapers through a structure similar to the tax that supports metro Denver cultural institutions.<<<<<
I wonder how many hack “objective journalists” would work for a government-subsidized propaganda sheet.
You beat me to it, as that was my first reaction - "You want me to risk MY money?"
Then why did they endorse uber-liberal Ritter back in 2006?
Why didn't they endorse McCain/Palin and Schaeffer in 2008?
Conservatives don’t read liberal trash, and liberals don’t read. Newspapers are a victim of their own political ignorance.
Is there a link on that story? I want to read that one! Unbelieveable!

Is Gannett Planning to Drop AP and Form Own Content Service?
You’ve got it right tanker, this is a drag. I wish that stinking Post was the one going under. The Rocky is miles better even though it has slipped and does have some real woohoos on staff, like Johnson and Griego.
The Post won’t be far behind. Another year or so should do it in, too.
