For all the trouble that “editor” has spawned for others around here — and who knows how far ‘beyond’ the state’s borders, the *no principles* management style has gotten them exactly what they deserve:

Bankruptcy hovering like a BIG DARK CLOUD that won’t go away.

I made the mistake of subscribing to said paper years ago and after reading drivel heaped upon drivel for 26 weeks I ignored every lame attempt by their telemarketers to get me to re-up.

I normally buy a Sunday version, however, this Sunday’s “news” made me hurl and I won’t be making that mistake again any time soon. Is there worse coverage of state government by a capital city newspaper anywhere in America?

On a related newspaper front – I would also buy a USA Today or two during the week. Their recent 33% INCREASE in price to $1.00 was the tipping point for me. What business school did their bean-counters attend? Did someone from Harrell’s mathematically challenged staff provide the folks at USA Today on-the-side consulting services?

Raising prices in the face of a nasty economy: NOT a bright move.
