The SF Chronicle is a disaster that already happened and it’s sad that the beautiful city of San Francisco has such as lousy newspaper.

Well if i had money, tell you what I'd do: I'd go downtown and buy a Mercury or two. Crazy bout a Mercury, Lord, I'm crazy 'bout a Mercury. I'm gonna buy me a Mercury and cruise it up and down the road.

I just read two days ago that my home town paper’s Mother Company (sorry can’t remember the name) filed also. The paper is the Humboldt Times Standard from Eureka. They are the only paper in town so it must really be bad.

I just picked up a Mercury News (for 75 cents!) as I wanted to read an article on recent rainfall, and the housing market.

Also on the front page:

Justices overturn campaign spending limits.

Ruling allows corporations, unions to spend massive amounts of money for or against candidates.

The article continues in a sneering tone. They don't put scare quotes on "free speech", but you can tell they thought about it.

The Mercury News has biased its way into bankruptcy.

Like fish hawk said they own the Times-Standard here in Eureka and 2 or 3 weekly papers in the smaller towns around here. The staff of the T-S is some 20 and 30 year old kids and they struggle to put out a coherent daily paper and the most offensive content is the environmental stuff and the letters to the editor are real whack jobs.

Check out the DU nutcase they quoted in todays story on the Supreme Court Ruling

I send stories like This to Grampa Dave to intice him up here to fish...

I hate to interrupt all this celebration, but let's not forget that conservative newspapers have been hit, too.

From the conservative Washington Times, December 3rd, 2009:

All employees were handed letters advising them that at least 40 percent of the workforce will be laid off in the coming weeks.

It ain't always about liberal bias.
