Newspapers have been largely leftist ever since having a college degree became a prerequisite to a paid job that puts words on paper.
Excellent point. I'd sure like to see more colleges and universities be shifted away from the anti-2A condition.

With that said, are they really going to blame their stance on the 2nd for declining circulation? We get a Sunday for the coupons and my girls like the comics...and that's about it. I'm in my 40s and I think of all the roles the paper served that are now 100% in the realm of the Internet. Movie times, classifieds, sports scores, upcoming elections, etc.
Hmm... I used to love reading the papers. I'd get The Oregonian and WSJ, 7 days a week.
WSJ is still very well written and edited, but the main Portland and Oregon rag has turned into just that. Absolute SHIT for skilled writers, and more silly fluff and cutbacks in every area that I cared about.
When the vast majority of the decent articles come from national syndicates, why buy the rest of the rag? I was forced out of reading the local paper because of their lack of quality. Fuck 'em. I miss the good old days, but I'm not going to try to pretend that they're still here.
