Newspaper's advocate loses a selling point

Oh, no, say it isn't so. I am always pressing transplanted Yankee colleagues to "subscribe to the News & Record; you live and work here. You should get the local paper; and besides, you'll be able to read Tom Friedman and the other New York Times columnists in our hometown paper."

I am deeply disappointed. I'm sure the diminishing readership is part of the reason, but this decision certainly isn't going to help my case to add readers from my circle.

I agree. They are just like the Canadian Geese. Come down here, take up residence, sqwawk and poop all over the place, and don't have sense to get out of the road. Maybe if we stop feeding them, they'll leave.
