HAH!
Rather: “This is the mid-year witching hour for the U.S. daily press, another stirring of the consolidation pot, and another stage in the transformation of newspapers from civic assets to one-sided, internationally-owned (Soros-Rockefeller-Gates-Amazon-Google-Chinese-Saudi) global propaganda instruments with NO local input or writing or editorial control! “
We need newspapers, to report about government corruption.
My canary is clutching her pearls looking for her fainting perch; what will she do without those papers to poop on?
Even the news websites are annoying - popup videos (with ponderous music), blockers, paywalls, etc.
Only to have to read anti-American opinion pieces masked with a smattering of content, and no comment sections.
The physical papers are a joke - prices rising and getting thinner and thinner.
I can only imagine their age demographics are deteriorating as well.
It’s an outdated model whose economic model is to be propped up by lib deep pockets.
Today’s newspapers are worse than government corruption.
Non-profit newspaper chain??? I don’t like the sound of that. Sounds like something that would be ripe for money laundering.
The left never ever runs out of money. Especially when it comes to their propaganda outlets.
Its only the conservative media that has to make money. If they don’t get banned first.
The local rag is a Tribune paper. I hope to see it go under real soon. I think the future of leftist rags is to be artificially supported by insane leftists, such as bezos and his washington post rag.
Can a non-profit newspaper be politically partisan like the for-profit newspapers? I would think there might be restrictions.
Oh, please. You know damn well it’s going to be slanted in favor of demonicRATS. George Soros has hundreds of non-profits and they’re all money laundering operations for the demonicRAT Party.
The large news organizations have been compromised for decades. Their primary utility now is to reveal the focus of the Deep State.
And if they become nonprofits you and I are going to be subsidizing them. Should not be allowed to happen.
We need newspapers...........to wrap fish in..................
Name one that does when a democrat is in charge.
“We need newspapers, to report about government corruption.”
At federal, state and local level. That is where smaller local/regional papers could play a part if they chose to.
Yeah, the problem with their profitability is all around their tax burden.
“setting up the country’s first major nonprofit newspaper chain”
I guess that would be an improvement from the standard negative-profit business model.
They preach against Capitalism then cry when it bites them in the A$$..........................
