It’s sad how when local media started losing money, many got picked up by owners really aren’t journalist as much as opportunists at heart. Having a paper owned by someone who doesn’t need it to profit sounds good until you realize there’s no market that can influence content. We will be inundated with stories about how the Democratic Party should leave fringe, read non straight white American, aside and focus on making the GOP seem less extreme.
