Media The Kind of Serious Journalism Provided To the Community By Our Daily Newspapers
Posted by Dan Savage on Mon, Dec 15, 2008 at 6:15 PM
What would we do without it?
I voted for Maddy (kinda kinky!) and Dwight (totally pissed!).

I, too, dislike this advent of moronic features on the Seattle PI and the Seattle Times.
But they're trying to survive, Daniel. And people love pets, women in fashion runways, pets, and women in bikinis.
It's a sad thing to see. It is the reality, though. Long gone are the days when people paid attention to in-depth news.
Sigh.

I seem to recall the most popular Slog "articles" being about goat sucking. So what's your point, Dan?

This is exactly why we need two papers, the Times teh biased rag that it is will only tell you the news from the perspective of dogs, the PI is where you get genuine cat oriented news.

Please. You'd prefer ads for hookers and week-long crusades to paint a local newswoman as a goat-fellater and fake columns written by the band Heart and monkeys that like turkey and...
Get off your high horse, sex-advice columnist.

New year's resolution: Every time you want to bag on Seattle Times, Weekly or PI, post about something written by one of Seattle's growing number of independent, community-focused news sites. They are great sources of news and many are building their businesses. It seems like you'll be a prolific source of support!

Dan's just picking on the Times/PI because he's nervous.
An economic recession means less disposable income to spend on rub-n-tugs from tranny hookers. He's obviously worried that his paper is going to be cutting back too.
How's ad revenue in print Dan?

The Times is doing itself in.
Apparently, Blethen had the nerve to grind his own axe during his appearance at the WSU commencement address this weekend, carrying on about how "the internet is killing freedom of the press" and that the gummint should bail out The Times to protect said freedom. "Craigslist!" he said, "they don't even have ads on that thing. How does THAT work?"
Uh, who served him too much to drink before he took stage?
Asshat.

Women in bikinis used to sell papers in Ontario.
The rest of Canada thought they meant the paper wasn't serious though.
But that never kept Conrad Black from his knighthood ...

As I wrote in my blog today:
"The Stranger should pray that both the Times and P-I survives, otherwise the Stranger will have one less source for its local news?

I like the pictures of the animals in cute outfits. They're fun, I would rather see pictures of animals dresses in Christmas costumes than read about depressing issues such as the economy. Ignorance is BLISS.

the stranger barely pays their staff so layoffs wouldn't help much. the dailies actually pay a living wage.
and savage might not drive a porsche but what is your point?

at least now they have a pic of a woman holding an anti-gun-ban sign. She shouldn't even be licensed a magic marker, let alone a gun...look at her crazy font rage: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/dayart/200…
come on: kittycats are great, and at least they're not The Seattle Times...
