Edited on Wed Jan-25-06 03:34 AM by kagehime
that it's not just me being pounded sans k-y at my paper
it's the business end that is killing journalism
it took finding out one of the papers about 30 miles away was expanding to a regional to light the fire under the higher ups' asses
i know i've said it before, but gannett can lick my ass
on topic, i don't know what uncomplimentary names people give my paper, but i like to call it less than fish wrap

| -What's your local paper's uncomplimentary nickname? |
