What if a newspaper folded and nobody cared?

Posted Tue, Mar 17, 6:49 p.m.

Ted Van Dyk (AKA Crosscut Writer) you apparently didn't understand Bjorn's posting because he did not agree with Berger's piece. And when did Berger (or anybody on the Crosscut contributor's list for that matter) spend any time lately in the hinterlands? ALL newspapers, great and small, are having financial troubles. ...

What if a newspaper folded and nobody cared?

Posted Tue, Mar 17, 11:52 a.m.

Nobody cares? Gee, I'm so glad I am dismissed by the writer of this piece, the arrogance! But since Knute Berger has made a living doing not investigative journalism but rather op-ed, why would he miss a real newspaper? Between this piece and the one dismissing the PI as the ...

The P-I: Saying goodbye to a liberal voice

Posted Tue, Mar 17, 11:24 a.m.

This so-called farewell is why Crosscut will remain a non-profit, I would never pay a dime, much less "donate" any money, to an organization that would sponsor tripe such as above. Good by and good riddance to David Brewster and his ilk, see ya, don't wanna be ya.

Battle on the Bellingham waterfront

Posted Wed, Dec 24, 7:06 p.m.

What is new is City Planning Director Tim Stewart - who has brought his scurrilous game to the poor citizens of Bellingham. Shoreline is still trying to recover from the havoc he instituted into the Shoreline development code. Who can forgot some of the illegal permits issued in Shoreline under ...

Is Ron Sims catching a bus to D.C?

Posted Mon, Dec 15, 6:29 p.m.

It may be both grimly and amusingly ironic that Ron Sims would become Secretary of the Department of Transportation. After all, he was for Sound Transit before he was against it, which makes him eminently qualified to work in Washington, DC. This is a truly strange choice because Sims is ...

Memo to Obama: good local talent out here

The Sonics decision that wasn't

Posted Sat, Jul 19, 1:18 p.m.

RE: Good Bye and Good Riddance: Your memory sets records for being the shortest of all - if you had read my comments above, I made note that the trial proceedings of the City of Seattle vs. PBC brought forth evidence that Mayor Nickels efforts effectively barred other local cities, ...

The Sonics decision that wasn't

Posted Fri, Jul 4, 5:46 a.m.

RE: In defense of Mayor Nickels: Did you not follow the trial proceedings? Nickels shot down retention of the Sonics for the REGION. Bellevue, Renton & the Muckleshoots offered land & better venues, and in the case of the Muckleshoots, money to keep the Sonics. Some of the alternatives met ...

The Sonics decision that wasn't

Posted Thu, Jul 3, 1:52 p.m.

I say tar & feather Nickels: and I'm not a (former) Sonics fan. While we're at it, let's include Tim Ceis and mercenary Slade Gorton - for good measure throw in Wally Walker. Greg Nickels seems to be so used to back room deal-making that he never thought about the ...
