Ken needs a bailout
Everyone knows that the newspaper industry is going the way of the American auto industry. The question is how soon will the bailout come from the Obama Administration.
Surely liberal activists like Ken Ward who work for trashy newspapers all over the country deserve a bailout, much like Obama’s supporters on Wall Street and in the Unions.
Newspapers are failing because they are not putting out a product worth reading. Newspapers have let themselves be invaded by liberal environmentalists like Ken Ward and now fail to report the truth and instead do the bidding of enviro-whackos and their Foundation-paid-for lawyers.
Foxnews kills in the cable ratings because they don’t hire environmentalists like Ken Ward to write “news” articles. They put Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity in their own time slots and have opinion shows. This is what the Gazette should do for Ken Ward. He should be allowed to tell his lies in his all-powerful blog but not be allowed to write “news” stories.
If you have not seen it, there was a great editorial in today’s Wall Street Journal which talked about the seperation of newspaper and state. The argument of course hinges on private property rights, which is also something that Ken Ward and his enviro buddies don’t understand regarding the surface mining debate.

Ward has now turned his back on his newspaper friends at the liberal NYT. Times climate change reporter Andy Revkin dared to question the notion that the Earth is warming, so Ward notes in his blog that Revkin’s views were “debunked” by Ward’s friends at . . . Climate Progress.
Seriously? Climate Progress? The liberal blog about climate change?
Looks like the “paper of record” just isn’t good enough for Ward anymore. Why doesn’t Ward just make it official and stop calling himself a journalist?
See Ward’s blog entitled “Tough Break for Massey’s Don Blankenship.”
How long until the Gazette goes under? We need a good capitalist to buy the damn thing.
Interesting tidbit about the paper
According to wikipedia:
“However, in 1965, the newspaper fired all of its blue collar workers for joining a labor union.”
Elizabeth Early “Betty” Chilton, is currently president of the Daily Gazette Co. and publisher of The Charleston Gazette and the widow of former publisher Ned Chilton.
Chilton “earned a well-deserved reputation as a “firebrand liberal.” Ned Chilton used to say that the job of a newspaper was to “comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.”
and that was before he fired everyone.
figures….

Why would any investor want to pay full tilt to bail out the Gazette? Wait until it goes bankrupt, then pick it up for pennies on the dollar, fire the staff, and turn it into a real newspaper that keeps its opinions on the editorial page where they belong.
