2 reasons I'll never advertise with the News-Journal

The Daytona Beach News-Journal is filing bankruptcy and is in the midst of being sold for a ridiculously low price. I assume everyone knows that advertising is how any media outlet pays its bills. Which means that you must put out a product that businesses will support with their advertising dollars.

I will never advertise in the News-Journal. (reason #1) Check out this column by Pierre Tristam, a staff writer for the newspaper. He would rather see private businesses collapse than our economy rejuvenate. This particular article on healthcare is not out of the ordinary for him.

If the News-Journal really wanted to stay in business, they'd listen to potential advertisers! Wouldn't it be fun if they did an ongoing debate between Pierre and someone who believes in free-market economy and private business?

And then here's a little doozy by the staff editorial cartoonist that ran in the March 2nd edition (reason #2):

He's basically saying that if you're not a Republican, you have no real reason to dismiss Obama's policies. All we can do is be jealous of the messiah - reasons enough to "hate" him, right? Well, I don't "hate" Obama and I'm not a Republican, so I must just be jealous.
