Notice with whom this particular troll was fencing, Bradley.

Trolly, trolly, sad Hax trolly What’s funny is that “Hax Vobiscum” didn’t seem to have any trouble with dumping people into broad political categories over at Patterico’s when it suited his purpose. That he came onto this site just to whine about your doing so means that you must have hit really close to home.

The idiot lefties have previously mentioned the 200,000 circulation of NRO. I don’t know what Weekly Standard’s is. City Journal is an excellent quarterly that might be a conservative “New Yorker.” The Claremont Review of Books substitutes for the NY Review of Books which I dropped after reading a few too many personal ads in back ending with “Republicans need not apply,” or “No Republicans.” It was funny but too illustrative of the tone of the writing.

I used to take five newspapers and read them. Now I take the WSJ (plus those magazines and a few sailing mags) and mostly read it online. My wife got me a Kindle for my birthday in hopes I will buy fewer books.

Then I see obvious dopes trying to sound intelligent with no sign of knowing what they are telling us.

Far more historic than the Los Angeles Times fate, IMO.

After 150 years, the Rocky Mountain News will cease publishing at the end of the week.

The innocent people who will lose their jobs–not the editorial side–I feel sorry for. The rest of the left-leaning staff I hope has to beg for jobs from the people they disdain so mightily.

The internet is only part of the reason why they are failing–the total lack of credibility is the main one.

It seems they don’t realize how moronic it is to claim that no newspaper is better than one whose politics they don’t like.

Illogical beyond belief. It IS better, or certainly CAN be better, to get one’s information from other sources rather than patronize a publication whose editorial biases one finds sufficiently outrageous and destructive.

I doubt we’d find trollboy subscribing to the only local paper in town if that paper had a bias that he found appalling, esp. given the ready availability of information via other means.

Ah, the irony of the moron calling us morons.

If I had a euro for every time a wingnut crowed about proudly canceling his local newspaper subscription, I could afford to play tennis and drink at the country clubs John McCain belongs to.

Yet I’ve never, not once, read or heard a winger bragging about SUBSCRIBING to a conservative publication of any kind as an alternative to the news product they so despise.

It seems they don’t realize how moronic it is to claim that no newspaper is better than one whose politics they don’t like.

Debra Saunders is a whacked out far rightie by SF and Chronicle standards. By normal standards she’s David Brooks with different genetilia. She’s on Townhall already and I bet she’ll land something quick.

I know this is wrong by I have this desire to go to 5th and Mission and laugh. The last laugh, I believe. I used to like newspapers 10 years ago, before picking up the Chronicle. Now they can all rot, outside of the WSJ and IBD.
