We received a free copy of the leftist local newspaper. My mornings have been so much calmer since I stopped receiving it but my curiosity overcame my good judgment so I began reading. Beginning one of the most Holy Days of the year with the attitude that crept in on me after about 60 seconds of reading caused me to throw the offensive piece of propaganda aside, intending to use it to light our fireplace on "no burn" days.
I did not get very far into the front page article from the Associated Press to remember that this paper is not local at all! It is owned and operated by obscure figures in other parts of the country! Who the hell is the Ass. press and where do they reside?
Do those that run this paper realize that our population exploded to over 6.4 million and that the subscription to this paper has continually fallen over the years?
The cheering squad that wrote the following article have scrambled eggs for brains!
"……But there are some signs that circulation may have started to level off. At The New York Times, average weekday circulation in the six months ended March 31, 2010 was up slightly compared with the six-month period that ended Sept. 30, 2009. At The Arizona Republic, circulation in those two periods was up to 350,000, from 316,000. "
NOW THIS IS SPECIAL! 350,00 subscribers in a state that saw a significant rise in population, they can only find 350,000 lefties that enjoy their paper in a state with a population of 6.4 million!!!
Duh, now let’s see, in April of 2009, there were almost 390,000, minus 350,000, hmmm, that sounds like a drop of about 40,00 but then I did not go to an elitist college, so what do I know, right?
Phoenix New Times: Ray Stern, Tue., Apr. 28 2009 The Republic placed No. 10 with weekday circulation of 389,701.
FishBowl NY: Latest Newspaper Circ Numbers Show Ten Percent Drop
By Amanda Ernst on October 26, 2009:
New York Times: In the six-month period ending March 31,2010, the Audit Bureau of Circulations reported Sunday sales dropping 6.5 percent and weekday sales 8.7 percent compared with the same six-month period a year ago. The figures are based on reports filed by hundreds of individual papers.
By Staff, brandrepublic.com, 27 October 2009, 11:40AM: Hardest hit of all was the San Francisco Chronicle, the Hearst-owned title whose closure has long been threatened, saw its circulation plummet by 25.8% to 251,782 from 339,430 a year ago. It is half the size it was six years ago
I prefer getting my news from the internet, therefore assisting the fall of this foreign entity that took over a newspaper that once was local and conservative. I hope all of you will add to their eventual fall by cancelling your subscriptions in 2011. You will be surprised how much better each day will start without the constant barrage of propaganda and left leaning (so-called) news.
If this paper falls, maybe others will start a local paper that really reports news in an unbiased way.
I pray for a better new year for all of us (except the owners of the newspapers)!
