KANSAS CITY STAR PUBLISHES THINNEST SUNDAY EDITION IN DECADES!!!



Confession . . . TKC buys the Sunday paper at a local gas station because of a lady friend who has a dog that will never be trained.

What stood out . . .

TODAY'S PAPER WAS THE LIGHTEST SUNDAY EDITION KANSAS CITY HAS WITNESSED FROM THE (FADING) STAR IN MORE THAN A GENERATION!!!

Worse still, the big price tag ALMOST makes an investment in doggie pads worthwhile . . . Given that no creature associated with this blog will ever learn about anything close to discipline.

Not joking, a pee pad is the only practical use I've seen for the paper given that uses books for potty time entertainment . . . Forgive the horrific visual on that one . . . But I digress . . .

Of course the news in today's edition was old and coupons are for stuff I'm not gonna buy anyhoo . . . Nevertheless, regular subscribers are paying big bucks for a product that's getting more sparse every week.

  2. Same here. I mostly pick it up on Sundays, but it's obvious the end is near. they'll be 'pivoting' to a truly digital focus in day now, reduce frequency during the week, layoff more staff, and try to be a digital media company. The print product is in its final death throes.

    1. If we let more illegals in the USA, we will have to build more jails because the democrat won’t let us deport them.

  16. So I take it, Tony, you have several decades of Sunday Stars to refer to and compare with?

    Haha Haha.

    P.s. of course you don't. Therefore your observation is a joke.

  18. I've been saying for 5 years it'll be a 3-4 day paper by 2020 or earlier.

  19. The Star is not dying so much as it is committing suicide. No business can alienate half its potential customer base and hope to succeed. Problem is, brain dead journalists think they have a sacred mission (getting Democrats elected) that is above monetary matters.

  20. Constantly dissing half of your customer base (Republicans) is not a good business model.

  21. The paper is dying like all the geezers who still read it.
