    The wife and I were subscribing to NatGeo Adventure up until a couple of months ago. Sorry for any part, I may have played in its demise.

    PS) We still get the main mag and the Kids, so don't blame me if other units are having problems.

    Shiite, I subscribed just YESTERDAY to NatGeo Adventure as a Christmas present for my nephew. Now I have to get online and find something else just as cheap.

    Are the powers at Belo out of their minds?

    Re: The Dallas Morning News. Turning over edit to sales is the breaking of the seventh seal, right? And I say this as a business guy.

    @TheBusinessGuy: DMN is owned by the evil overload Belo Corporation, which has always seemed to filter its right-wing affiliations through the content of the paper. This is just another nail in its coffin of suck.

    @Atilla the Bun: Well, as much as I dislike the right wing, they have the inalienable right to be stupid in their printed opinions, and of course even supposedly objective content will have a slant or a tinge--that's just the way the world works. But knocking down the church/state wall? Ugly!

    @TheBusinessGuy: I was raised with the Morning News as the regional Big City paper, and it has ever blended sections into one monolith. The news other places might carry stories of how Ross Perot is embarrassed that his EDS could not account for a million in services paid for by the feds, but the Op-Ed of the Morning News was all about a Black mother accepting a fifty dollar welfare payment to which she was apparently not entitled. Also, you'd see no even-handed review of the Oil Depletion Allowance, and over in sports, a writer was railing against Carlos and Smith years after they'd lifted their hands in Mexico City. It was Faux Noise in print, and I wonder why Rupert never bothered to acquire it.

    @TheBusinessGuy: The problem is that because of the easing of FCC restrictions that used to strictly limit the number of newspapers and broadcast stations that an entity could own, Belo now controls a large amount of news content, much of which purports to be objective and simply isn't. Belo has the right to do this, certainly, but I also have the right to say it makes for sucky "journalism." This latest bit of news is just more of the same.

    @Atilla the Bun: Point taken, and I grieve to remember that those rules were eased by the Clinton administration, and the late Ted Kennedy, to his shame, further eased restrictions on ownership for the foreign-born Rupert.

    @TheBusinessGuy: It is- and as a working (for the moment) journalist- this is the kind of thing that both nauseates and scares the shit out of me.

    Aside from the "favors for favors" ickiness associated with a policy move of this sort, what really makes my skin crawl is the thought of having to work hand in hand with sales staff.

    If the ones at my pub are any indication of the norm- these people are fucking retards with no scruples whose only concern is their commission. Not a good alliance for anyone who wishes to keep integrity in their newsroom.

    This is one of those occassional instances where things really WERE better in the sixties, when everyone was "balling" everyone else and no one expected otherwise.

    Assuming some of you Garofalos work in media it's disheartening and predictable to see you mock and ridicule one of your industry's brightest hopes for a future in digital.

    Not the second round of layoffs at Newseum. At least the third- but don't ask me how I know. They'll come after me but they won't kill me. They'll just force me to watch their "4D" movie until my eyes are pinwheels and I'm sobbing on the floor like Nellie Bly's asylum-mates.

    Is it more than a little scary that NPR is just catching up to the world of pop culture and now finds Justin T'lake dreamy? It's like awakening a Kraken after 15 years hungry for Pizza Bagels and new episodes of Blossom.
