That's not what Christy said Christy

"Everyone can go to the internet and get the news.  U can watch Fox and CNN and then decide, check the facts they throw at u.  We crippled our local newspaper and they hve. changed their tune and now jus report the facts."

I don't see "should" mentioned here.  I agree it would be refreshing if that were to occur but it has not to date happened.  Stop your subscription to the Times Union today.

What Christy said is that the TU or any paper should, should jus report the facts not their left view

So we have to wait for the reinstatement of the death and estate tax to expire as was threatened

by Democrats this past Dec.  Then when the taxes are due and the privately held business must be sold you have a go at it.  This was a business model of buying buisnesses for Warren Buffett early on.

Can't pay estate taxes on family owned business which then must be sold because no one individual

has the funds or liquidity to pay up.  And you wondered why he endorsed Obama?

You will be able to buy the TU out of bankruptcy for nothing soon enough so you will not have to be responsible for the union contracts.  They will be null and void.  Depending on how the pension assets are held and where you might be able to capture those assets as well and stiff the employees.  This would be a Democratic tactic used in take overs and take under plans but would be somewhat poetic justice.

I like Lyndee's suggestion that we become stockholders with the T-U. In fact, I had mentioned to Billie awhile back that I wish we could somehow (the FCTP) buy the T-U out from under them. That would be awesome! Thanks for the info about Frank Denton. Did not know that. When I spoke to him on the phone that day, I did say to him that I think it would be interesting for us to deal an investigation on him and his reporters and see what conflicts of interest we could turn up. I still think that needs to be done.

Don't know what Times Union (TU ) Christy is reading but to suggest they "just report the facts" is a joke. 

From headlines to story placement to content the spin is always left and liberal bias.  To suggest

that one needs to go to some other source like the internet to "get the facts" is ridiculous.  Why get the newspaper then?   To wrap fish?   Yahoo and others engage in a similar pattern of spin but only do it less blantantly. The TU is nothing more than a 365 day a year Liberal and Democratic vote generating political campaign mailer.  That is also why talk radio has such a strong base of support in NE Florida.   AM 600 and 690.  And even they spin there news updates to the left.   Townhall, Newsmax, Minuteman, Heritage, PAC, Tea Party's, Conservative Action, the Cardinal Neuman Society and our FCTP blog are originators of timely, informed and accurrate information.  These are the groups and organizations which should have your support.

A while back I canceled my TU Subscription because of this very reason, that I think paper is to "left leaning".  I get calls periodically from them asking if I would like to subscribe, and I always say, "no your paper is to liberal for me".

Audrey Moran is a progressive. She joined the Republican Party in 2006 to use the Party

to get elected. She also has promised the world to the gay community in Jax. That has given

her about 8000 supporters who have been making calls for her. We do not need another

tax and spend progressive in government!

Everyone can go to the internet and get the news.  U can watch Fox and CNN and then decide, check the facts they throw at u.  We crippled our local newspaper and they hve. changed their tune and now jus report the facts.

Plan B to take under the TU is to write and boycott its advertisers.   I like Stein Mart, Dillards is okay,

and some entertainment and restaurant venues, but write to them and tell them that you refuse to

shop and patronage there places of business until they stop advertising in the TU.  You must rally

to make change, but you can do so without the union thuggery tactics and violent destruction practices like we saw in Wisconsin and other states.  When the lay offs start coming they will notice.

And remember to cancel (cxl) your TU subscription.
