My local paper the Albany Times-Union choose to run an article that has Sarkozy quote but did not quote Obama’s “open mike” comment. Explains part of the reason that Albany County has 87,000 active, registered Democrats and only 37,000 Republicans.
Never expect any help from New York state, the demomedia is fully in control. As the old saying goes, the media treats New Yorkers are like mushrooms: Keeps them in the dark and feeds them horseshit.
Our county is republican majority. The local newspaper is owned by the Slimes group. It is dying. They call on the phone and make you offers. I tell them I don’t have any birds thus do not need newspapers to line the cages. I go to their online site and read about the high school football stuff and the obits and then I am off the page. They have minimum coverage for free and want you to pay to have the full on line. They have few takers.
