This stuff is considered front page material?
"Several members of the Needham High School girls’ soccer team were suspended before last night’s state tournament game for allegedly hazing younger players on the team.
The school’s decision outraged the girls’ parents, who asked a judge to allow their children to play in Needham’s game against Brockton. The judge refused and the game went on, as parents and students sat in the cold rain last night and watched Needham lose 7-1....
Like, who really cares?

Yeah, that was on the front page yesterday. I won't be reading it; however, it is there for you.
One thing items like that do is explain things like this:
"Drop in print ads hurts Times Co.
The New York Times Co. reported a small loss for the third quarter, hurt by one-time expenses and another drop in print advertising revenue.
The company reported a net loss of $4.3 million for the July-September quarter. That’s better than the net loss of $35.6 million a year ago....
Yes, sir, there is less water coming into the ship! We should be able to stabilize Titanic now!
Revenues for the New England Media Group, which includes the Globe and Boston.com, were $102.8 million, down 6.2 percent from the same quarter a year ago. Advertising revenue for the group declined 8.8 percent....
And this is allegedly after five quarters of recovery, dear readers.
The LIARS are DYING and NOTHING in this world is going to stop it!

Yeah, you guys got stuck; serves you right anyway for serving up such war-criminal coverage, cover-ups, lies, and insults.
"Circulation drop at Globe, US newspapers slows; Decline expected, news officials say" by Johnny Diaz Globe Staff / October 26, 2010
Circulation losses at The Boston Globe, the Boston Herald, and many other newspapers around the country slowed in the six-month period that ended in September as papers focused on reaching readers in print, online, and through mobile devices.
Average daily newspaper circulation nationwide was down 5 percent during the six months ending Sept. 30, compared with the same period last year, according to new figures reported yesterday by the Audit Bureau of Circulations. That’s better than the 8.7 percent drop in the previous reporting period, from October 2009 to March.
Yes, less water coming in so the ship will not sink.
Meanwhile, my blog page views have been going through the roof (a shock considering how little I am posting these days).
The results are in line with expectations, said John F. Sturm, chief executive of the nonprofit Newspaper Association of America.
You guys have low expectations then.
“What counts is that newspaper companies continue to retain their most loyal and engaged readers even as they increase print circulation pricing to rebalance their revenue streams,’’ Sturm said in a statement yesterday.
Well, YOU ARE READING ONE OF THEM!
And you are LOSING ONE, too!!
Despite the "rebalancing" the paper still sucks.
The Globe’s daily circulation dropped 15.6 percent, while its Sunday circulation in the period dropped 12 percent....
The Globe’s publisher, Christopher M. Mayer, said in a memo to the paper’s staff that the lower circulation figures were expected after the newspaper raised prices last summer in most areas by 30 to 50 percent to increase revenue.
Yeah, time to stop buying.
He noted that the rate of daily and Sunday circulation declines between the new reporting period and the previous six-month reporting period last March is smaller.
Translation: it is a good thing that the ship will go down slower. That is what he is saying.
In that comparison, the declines at the Globe were 4.2 percent for daily circulation and 2.8 percent for Sunday. He also noted that local traffic to the Globe’s website, Boston.com, grew by 2.9 percent.
Yeah, half of which is probably me sending you there.
In total, Boston.com has 6.1 million unique monthly visitors, according to the audit bureau.
Then why aren't they doing better?
“The good news is the rate of circulation decline has slowed as we cycle through the impact of the price increases,’’ Mayer said....
That's the "good news?"
What's the "bad?"
Nationally, daily circulation at The Wall Street Journal, owned by News Corp., grew by 1.8 percent, while USA Today lost 3.6 percent. Daily circulation at The New York Times declined 5.5 percent; its Sunday edition fell 3.4 percent.

But they STILL MADE PROFIT after making the Globe workers bend over?
Ed Atorino, a media analyst with The Benchmark Co. in New York, said the results are improving because many newspapers cut back their distribution last year to reduce costs, which contributed to a steeper circulation decline then.
Yeah, that is a good thing!
“It was pretty bad a year ago,’’ he said. “We are getting a little bit more of normal consolidation.’’
These guys are either in denial or delusional. Either way, not good.
The new figures come as the audit bureau plans to change how it measures the different ways that readers consume newspapers and their content online.
Yup, if failure is unavoidable simply change the yardstick. Ha!
The corporate AmeriKan media has LOST THEIR MINDS along with their wallets!
With the new system, total circulation will broken into two categories: paid circulation for newspaper copies that are bought by the consumer, and verified circulation for copies that are bought by third parties, such as colleges.
That would be me, right?
The guy who gets one of the rack?
The activity I thought I enjoyed over some 20 years, only to find out I have been lied to and manipulated?
The guy they are charging more while providing less?

They really have some nerve!
Bye, Globe.
The audit bureau, which already breaks out circulation for electronic editions, will also give more details on how these editions are accessed, whether through a website that requires reader registration, an e-reader, or a mobile device.
Or a blog like this sending them there.
The changes will be reflected in the next reporting period in March.
Will there still be newspapers then?

They are about to go down by one, dear readers.

And yet they STILL SHOVEL the SAME AGENDA-PUSHING S*** every damn day!
And the truth is I no longer have the time nor patience to read the Boston Globe anymore, readers. The part-time slave work eats up most of my blogging time now. The unread copies pile up, and even when I do open and flip through one to get the gist of it I'm simply sick of the war lies, the terror scares, the divisive garbage, and the obfuscating and omitting crap that pours forth on a daily basis.
The fact is the AmeriKan media is bullshit and I no longer need anyone to decode it for me. I recognize the smell of bullshit, and I know who is behind the agenda. It's so damn obvious it's sickening. What I do now is catch the WRH radio show when I can and read some of the selected blogs on the side there.
