NEW YORK No matter which research service is crunching the numbers, the advertising market took a big fall in the first quarter. According to data released Wednesday by TNS Media Intelligence, which tracks ad spending across 19 media segments, advertising plummeted 14.2 percent to $30.18 billion.

The corrupt MSM is trying en masse to discredit Craigslist. They apply the Craigslist killer to any criminal that has ever seen it, as if the list is the perpetrator of crimes.

Target, isolate, and destroy tactics we know well by now.
RIP dinosaurs, your demise can’t come soon enough.
