It went full tilt Leftard long ago.
Sale price, $1 plus assumption of liabilities. WOW. Another one bites the dust? They will probably gut the staff and keep a shell of the former paper going, try to maintain some tabloid newsstand sales with the garish front pages while greatly reducing operating costs.
I remember guys coming to my front door begging me to buy a 6-month or 1-year subscription to the local leftist McClatchy daily rag.
And that was about 18 years ago.
Back in the days of when it was first owned by the Tribune the Daily News could make Joe McCarthy seem like Ethel Rosenberg. The paper even published an editorial saying JFK should have invaded Cuba cause while the US would have been nuked, The USSR would have been totally destroyed.
The Daily News is known for it’s Leftist bent, who would buy such a mess?
Well in their defense the liabilities are probably astronomical... :-b
In about 1966,after a newspaper strike, did not a dozen NYC newspapers fold?
To #19. John Boehner had a cartoon? I thought he WAS the cartoon. And a “Tiger” he wasn’t.
Now we can preach our gospel to even more choirs.
You're probably thinking about the NY Herald Tribune which struck itself to death. The same fate befell the Newark Evening News, a newspaper I grew up reading.
Yes, I believe you are right.
