So let me get this straight, Jeffrey, you're anti-union and you don't get why newspapers do these things. Not sure your smug remark does anything to enlighten us. It's okay to ask the question, but why doesn't the City Paper do a piece on Philly.com and is it really the future of the paper? Why is it located at 16th and Market in a brand new office instead of 400 N. Broad Street. Perhaps, like Philly.com, you just want to make the fast, sarcastic quip without bothering to actually do your job as news editor. Bring back Doron Taussig.

Maybe newspapers are dying because people can now get for free, online, what they used to pay for via home delivery of the actual paper? Maybe it's because so many news outlets have thrown out fact based objective journalism and instead are loaded with spin & agendas?  Case in point: Alan Grayson calls a female federal employee a whore, Obama praises him later in a speech as an outstanding representative, and most of the media don't give a shit.
