The democratian takes another step towards oblivion.

So, Lou "Broke my shoulder while patting myself on the back" Brancaccio announces another step on their road to a final bankruptcy. 

A 20 percent reduction in the number of sections, from 5 to 4.

Using less paper for the birdcage liner (birds everywhere locally among the few remaining subscribers will be outraged!)

The rest of it, of course, is moving the deck chairs around the deck of the Titanic.

It doesn't necessarily have to be this way, of course.

Fire Brancaccio and his pit Yorkie, John Laird, because, frankly, the definition of insanity is to allow these two morons to keep doing what they've been doing while expecting a different outcome.

Actually implement true, unbiased journalism.

Reflect the values of your community.

Make a concerted effort to reach out to the more conservative... or even moderate, in this community.  Stop providing us all with reasons to avoid buying this rag like we avoid buying heroin.

Stop using the paper as a bully pulpit to beat the hell out of the defenseless because they're wise enough to loudly oppose your your locally self-destructive bent.

Start demanding of government the same things you demand of us.  Start holding ALL parties and their politicians EQUALLY accountable.  Start treating BOTH sides the same.

Stop giving leftists a pass.  Start giving endorsements based on the same criteria, EVERY time.  (For example, experience matters.  Ignoring it to suit you, like you have when Pam Brokaw, with her complete lack of elective experience has been overlooked as much as her opponents years OF experience has been ignored... while in many other instances, you routinely trot out experience as a reason to re-elect)

These things won't happen, of course.  Losing the palace that now houses Tim "The Liar" Leave-it made no difference or in-roads into what could loosely be called the "thinking" of the democratian.

So, sooner, rather than latter, the "pay a dollar for a 25 cent newspaper" will go under... one would hope.
