Can’t help but agree with every word, there. Deregulation of communications industries have done a great disservice to consumers, and to Democracy itself. Monopolies allowed to flourish again have made it possible. Time to shrink some fortunes and some power.

Thanks. Now if only the rich lawyers would get off their duffs and come onboard we could proceed to change things around here.

The media managers are as guilty for the losses in the press as the managers at the banks and insurance companies. They get away without criticism for maintaining their profits and overblown salaries while cutting news workers and their salaries, why? Because they are in charge of what gets reported on the printing presses. It amounts to a coverup, and it is why more and more people are turning to the Web Press every day to find out the truth.

Poor managers seem to be the last to go. Those who do the work – first. Preceded sometimes by salary cuts and loss of benefits.

I’ve seen it all my life, which is not inconsiderable in length now. Glynn, sending a pitiful little check to help keep the presses running next week, come to think of it. A good job is done here.

My opinion is these newspapers need to fire their do-nothing publishers and the Web designers who are overpaid to create crappy, unusable Websites.

I could do better in my sleep — and create better, more readable journalism too…
