Readers in the suburbs started abandoning The Star then. Well folks, all those places are where the money is. So The Star can sell their papers downtown and in midtown, but nobody else cares. They are just not going to purchase a defective product that isn't worth the money. We can all get the AP wire and the NY Times on line. Why would we pay The Star for the same stuff? Does anybody down there really get it? I remember as a kid coming home from church on Sunday and spending the whole afternoon reading the paper. Now it takes an hour -- maybe, if I get distracted by something else too. It is just not a good product.

Way left. Every article that can be spun to fit a predetermined narrative, is spun. Articles imported from other news outlets (which generally appear on page 2, which I call the Propaganda Page) are TDS inspired hallucinations and sometimes simply fabrications. Stories that should be news but do not reflect well on the Star's Democratic Party controllers (e.g. the Senator Bob Menendez trial) are simply ignored.<br /><br />It does make me wonder what has gone on behind the scenes to turn the earlier promise into the present train wreck. Maybe the publisher realizes there is no hope for the continuing existence of this rag, and is raising a middle finger to the world as the ship sinks. <br /><br />Whatever. It's no way to run a business, but it might be an OK method to make willing martyrs of the Editorial Board, and unwilling martyrs of the unfortunate rest of the work force.Bobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-87538072640836339412017-09-21T15:07:03.974-05:002017-09-21T15:07:03.974-05:00Oh boy...here come the pants-shitters to take the ...Oh boy...here come the pants-shitters to take the bait. 2:58PM is first.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-83179958934407231572017-09-21T14:58:50.630-05:002017-09-21T14:58:50.630-05:00Amen.

Republicans are half of their potential readership but many Republican quit reading the paper because of the liberal bias. Produce a politically balanced paper with an equal number of writers both parties and you'll increase your readership. The Star would rather fire employees and eventually perish than do that.
