Revenues were up 31%, fueled by political advertising.

Thanks, Citizens United!

The company said they are "approaching the beginning of a move to bundled subscriptions for print and digital products" (i.e. paywalls).

I think this is great news. It will rid the site of all those "$10 an hour Republican millionaires," as KNS poster LaborGirl calls 'em.

They're the ones monopolizing the conversation over there, even as they repeat to us daily that they've already canceled their subscriptions.

Mirror the challenges of the Democrats.

As the world changes, we all struggle to retain our relevance.

I was referencing Scripps' declining popularity at a time in which one would think their relevance should be on the upswing, much like the Democrats.

(This would be a local and state observation. In retrospect the comparison may have been somewhat oblique, but it was late, I'd worked all day and I still am struggling with aspects of the election.)

I could wax on about the seeming disregard of the general populace for their own interests when it comes to casting their votes, and the need for to examine different business models for both the Dems and Scripps, but I can be long winded and then I might miss the football game.

But that's where I was going. As for the "we all," men in their fifties tend to get reflective upon their lives. It a common thing and a general bond amongst guys. It was a simple effort at being inclusive. For those who have never struggled with their relevance the reference may have seemed insulting, but that was not the intent.
