This blog is mainly about the spectacular train wreck at The Sacramento Bee and its parent company, the McClatchy Company. But I also post about current events, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, politics, anything else that grabs my attention. Take a look around this blog, hope you enjoy it.

Referenced article puzzlement: I thought combining operational costs was part of the new plan?
Excerpt: “In Seattle, [economic recession] that squeeze is exacerbated by the anachronistic partnership known as the Joint Operating Agreement, in which the locally owned Seattle Times Co. prints, delivers and sells advertising for the Hearst-owned Post-Intelligencer.
In an era when most cities can barely support one newspaper, let alone two, the result is millions of dollars in red ink for both companies.”
