I was watching the news … and I heard nothing from the Democrats. What are they, afraid to speak up?

I think both sides were very careful not to get into any particulars. The good news is we are having a dialogue. We don't appear to be at an impasse.

Whenever you have one entity that is controlling news over that big of an area it poses concerns. I don't see where, in the long run, delivering less news is going to be good for readers, the community, or the industry.

It makes the big news. We heard about it everywhere. Every athlete here has heard about it. The reality is the river has been tested and it's all good to go,

Profit-taking took hold following recent gains. I believe the lack of any significant local news prevented a further rise in the index.

Today's announcement... is bad news for newspaper workers, readers, advertisers and for our communities.
