Not surprised.
They were dropping hints about this on the 93.7 sports talk station the other day.
Utterly predictable though. This was Dick Scaife’s baby. Now that he’s gone his family does not want to continue pouring the estate down a black hole.
I know papers are dying but this I think is the first major paper in the country. Very amazing. I also am surprised since Pennsylvania has the 3rd largest over 65 year old population and I would imagine a percentage don’t have Internet.
THe Ministry of Propaganda loses another dead tree outlet.
This is sad, and I hope it’s not some kind of barometer for election trends in Pennsylvania. It was one of the few papers that aired conservative viewpoints. My parents still enjoyed it as a balance to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Teresa Heinz Kerry speaking to Pennsylvania delegates of the 2004 Democratic National Convention at the Massachusetts Statehouse on Monday, July 26, 2004, first day of the convention: “We need to turn back some of the creeping, un-Pennsylvanian, and sometimes un-American traits that are coming into some of our politics.”
After the speech she was questioned by reporter Colin McNickle of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: “...did you mean by un-American?... You mentioned ‘un-American’...”
Heinz Kerry: “No, I didn’t say that.”
McNickle: “What did you mean?”
Heinz Kerry: “I didn’t say that.” http://www.wavsource.com/people/politics3.htm

All I want for Christmas is the Hartford, CT Courant to be next.
