Gret big ole shout out to Grampa Dave!!
Kewl. Anti-American rag it is.
High fixed costs and a crappy product will cripple any company from SF newspapers to MoTown automakers.
Freepers need to set up a death watch at some of these papers.

Hearst Threatens to Close ‘San Fran Chronicle’ Without Big Layoffs
The cancer must have metastasized quickly because I don’t recall the mentions of death earlier
As I learned back in the 90s when I worked in Silicon Valley, the Chron had two sets of funny pages: the comics, and the letters to the editor.
I hope the union strikes! I tried to scab there many, many years ago during the last strike.
Well, the ultimate cut is closing it, so here’s hoping that is what is done, as it is what they say they need.
I just want what is best for them.
I vote for closed.
I think it would be fun to run a newspaper !
There was a story some months back about them losing $1 million per week, IIRC.
From their story today.

“The Chronicle lost more than $50 million in 2008 and is on a pace to lose more than that this year, Hearst said.”
