This is not the first newspaper to close since I graduated from Syracuse with degrees in newspaper and psychology. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution was part of a merger. The Syracuse Herald-Journal was merged as well. And all this is to say nothing of the thousands of newspaper workers who have lost their jobs in the past several years.
I'll spare you my feelings on the corporate bitches who wanted nothing but to turn a profit off the backs of ill-paid professionals who poured their hearts and souls into their occupations. And don't get me started on the mouthbreathers who blame the media for everything from McCain losing the election to furthering the "gay agenda" (whatever the hell that is) to the absence of prayer in schools. This is what the economy has wrought. Dear readers, watch your backs.
