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.

Zacks Highlights:
McClatchy's Drastic Measures
The McClatchy Company (NYSE: MNI) reported 4Q08 financial results Thursday that, as we expected, reflected an accelerating decline in ad revenue. In the midst of the secular and cyclical slowdown in print advertising, circulation revenue has fallen for the third consecutive year (-16% in 2008), while ad revenue sinks disproportionately as a third of MNI's revenues are in the hard-hit California and Florida markets.
EBITDA fell 28% to $114.5 million in 4Q08, faster than the 18% drop in revenue. Clearly, this does not leave a lot of room to pay interest ($41.1 million in 4Q08) and maintenance cap ex, not to mention investment spending in Internet growth initiatives. The dividend, which totaled roughly $7.4 million in 4Q08, was suspended effective 2Q09.

Stock worth zero if this is true.
Take a look at this Miami Herald front page.
This is so hateful, I wonder if it is a hoax?
