Thank you for your insightful look into the travesty of comic manipulation that is errant in American society today, Sjixxxy. I think this open letter to the editors of the DNT is dead on.

Front page was articles (I won't bother debating the value of them) from top to bottom. Every other page was all ads below the fold and about 1/3 ads above the fold, plus one page with a full-page ad. I'm sure glad I'm not a subscriber - I would have just laid down some hard earn cash to buy a paper that appeared to be mostly ads. Anyone notice today’s (Sunday, 2/8) front section?

It's too bad that ranter didn't write for a newspaper, or even have the freedom of having her own column, so she could look into and report to the community on all those issues she deems so important. Oh, wait. Re: The profanity-filled rant about the DNT in the Reader Weekly.

Just read a profanity filled rant in the Reader about the DNT prior to my comment and I get so filled up with the abundance of negative crap in Duluth that I become negative myself. Any newspaper print publications should probably be celebrating each other's existence these days, rather than slamming each other so hard. Today I see the humor. No offense to Sjixxxy. I also see the humor in Family Circus, but wouldn't miss it much if it went away. I would miss Dilbert and the Peanuts reruns though.

The DNT is working with nothing because their staff was SHREDDED by their corporate owners in Fargo. I used to really like the paper when I first moved to the region. Now it's tabloid trash. I've recently come to the conclusion that Forum must be consciously trying to run Duluth's daily paper into the ground and eliminate it, because nobody who cared about the newspaper and wished to see it turn a profit could possibly manage it THAT stupidly. The DNT is capsized and sinking. At this point, the only way to save it would be for a local non-profit to buy it out, reorganize it, hire back all the laid-off employees, and make it actually serve the community. And who has the money to do that? Don’t give us sob stories about the DNT, Shane. The DNT is working with nothing because their staff was SHREDDED by their corporate owners in Fargo.

The Nietzsche Family Circus is GREAT! The real one really isn't funny, though - kids, whatever. Defending Family Circus is the height of mediocrity. Anyway, yes, the Duluth news Tribune has gone far downhill, like the rest of the papers out there. It takes me about 8 minutes to read these days. Lat year it was at least 12 minutes. Ha!
