SF Chronicle May Fold
Power Line ^ | February 24th | John

Posted on 02/25/2009 12:36:33 PM PST by Halfmanhalfamazing

The collapse of the newspaper industry continues apace; now it's the San Francisco Chronicle that is likely to be sold or even closed down in a matter of months. This follows Sunday's bankruptcy filing by the Philadelphia Inquirer and the Philadelphia Daily News, just two and a half years after investors paid more than $500 million for the company.

Let’s be careful what we hope for. If the NY Times goes down, then I fully expect the leftists to create a new “national” newspaper, funded by the gubmint, of course, to take its place. PRAVDA, American Style.

Isn’t the SF Chronicle more conservative then the SacBee?

They are a Bizzaro world newspaper, no relationship to the real world whatsoever.

They can’t go out of business soon enough, in my opinion.

I hope the Mercury News is next.

Both are anti-American, anti-family, anti-capitalist tools of our enemies.

Their bias is every bit as blatant in their articles as it is in their editorials.

BANKRUPT the ENEMEDIA!
