Not every column is a winner no matter how good you are. Corbett was a good columnist but some of them were just so-so. Her column wasn't that bad. I've seen worse. From Fennick and from every other columnist in NEPA. Syndicated, too, if you want to go that far. I don't know her but people I work with who used to work with her only say good things about her.

For the TL to be dying in Luzerne County the CV would need to be flourishing. And you all can debate who has the better writers until the cows come home, but when you start using words like "dying" you are getting into the revenue and circulation game and I would like to see anybody on this blog explain to me how the TL is dying compared to the CV when the TL's Sunday readership is nearly twice that of the CV's and the revenue for the TL is more than twice that of the CV's. Quite frankly, if it wasn't for TS holding the CV's hands, it would already be gone.

He'd probably seek some punitive revenge by sticking her on a chicken dinner beat or throwing her on a couple of dick shifts.

His investers didn't let him buy that Philly alternative weekly because profits are keeping up up debt payments. He tried to stop TS from buying the SS. He couldn't. He's done.
