UGHHHH! I can''t imagine two Star and Sickles in the Twin Cities!
I seriously hope, the rock in my gut I feel about this deal does not comes true. I worry that the purchase will leave the Twin Cities with one S & S (Star Tribune) or two S&S molded papers. The thought is my worst nightmare.
I enjoy the Pioneer Press. I actually subscribe to it, I think it is a fair newpaper (I don't always agree with the editorials, but at least with the ones I don't, they put some reasonable thought and try to make a intelligent argument). Also, I can get it delivered to me in Wisconsin. The S&S, is so out of touch with reality, that it can't be considered a reasonable news source (I think they still believe the economy is the worse since the great depression; Bush was responsible for 9-11; and Michael Moore is a good American).
McClatchy may have to sell off the PP to avoid anti-trust issues, but what this means for the future of the PP, I don't know. Some analyst think McClatchy could eliminate the PP! (If they do, or there is a substantial change in the way the PP is published, I'll cancel my subscription.)
