Gainesville Sun - YOU STINK!l

So, you believe what the MSM is telling you?
Surely you jest...

 

Like many newspapers The Sun no longer does much coverage of local news, sports or otherwise. We no longer get a Saturday paper (it’s online) and this week we got a small paper on Wednesday and nothing on Thursday. There was no real report about Friday’s football game, and no game report, not even just an AP story about any of the basketball games this weekend. Aside from sports they have completely eliminated the Opinion section—local and national columnists and even letters to the editor

 

There are few locally owned media outlets anymore. They are revenue generators who provide little information.

They complain that they don't have enough subscribers for their print and on line edition. They respond by making their product worse, by cutting budgets and laying off reporters.

The reason there are no reports about this weekend is they are too cheap to pay their part time reporters to fly out to Portland to cover it. They're probably too cheap to even pay someone to go to Tally for that matter.

 

As far as I can tell, they have Brockaway “covering” football and basketball, a woman primarily covering local high school sports, and a columnist. H*** I’d be happy if they just printed UAA summaries of any other sport

 

The

Sun, like many newspapers is imploding from lack of revenue, they recently shut down the opiion sctions so not even doing letters to the editor, one good point remains, Ron Cunningham's monthly column

 

Its a changing world. We used to need a reporter to tell is what happened. Now we see it as every single game is televised

Info like why so and so didnt play becomes almost an afterthought anymore

Even ESPN doesnt bother

 

Sure. I get that. They are all also basketball first schools. Duke football fans feel the same way in this state. The coverage is bad and they play in a major market.

Papers are bleeding money. They assume we see the games with out eyes and dont bother informing us on what we cant see. Sad, but true.

Btw, I'm not comparing Duke football to Florida basketball as we have a pedigree in hoops that they only dream of in football, just speaking more toward how floundering papers prioritize their money.

 

Its a shame no doubt. Of course maybe with no coverage we can keep the performance hidden from view.

 

The Gainesville Sun is being held together by baling wire and bubble gum...no way they pay to send someone to cover in Oregon. Days of the small to medium size local daily are gone forever.

 

All the more reason to cancel the subscription!

 

Geez, calm down people. 'Twas a joke.

 

Msm is either Miami sucks more or mainstream media.

 

How were we supposed to deduce that?
