John needs a copy editor.

Shouting vile words is one thing. Threatening President Obama's life, as some Tea Baggers have done, is another. There is a line here and some of these people have crossed it.

But, if someone HAS paid and then stops paying, you can give them the paper for free and still count the subscription as paid for six months. At least, that used to be the rule.

I don't think Eddie Bauer has closed, as you mention on page 2. Also interesting that the Sunday Seattle Times circulation is down 5.93%, a more accurate indicator, perhaps, of how the paper is really doing. The rough times aren't over yet.

RE: Hearst can't lose: Sorry, but you're wrong. The Times will make sure Hearst doesn't see a dime in profit. Just ask Tony Ridder. He complained for years that his 49.5% ownership of the Times produced little for him.
