Today McClatchy Watch reports “Great News! - - - McClatchy killing fewer trees.” The “A” section of the July 1 Sacramento Bee, McClatchy's hometown flagship newspaper, is “a mere 12 pages.”
McClatchy’s sister paper, the liberal/leftist Raleigh News & Observer, did better in today's "killing fewer trees" contest. It’s July 1 “A” section contains “a mere” 10 pages.
McClatchy Watch also reported McClatchy closed yesterday at a new 52-week low.
McClatchy Watch does an outstanding job tracking the decline of the once thriving and reliable McClatchy news organization that continues drifting left on its news pages while its financial troubles grow.

I think most of us are accustomed to biased reporting, but this article is over-the-top biased. This would be a perfect example of why newspapers are committing suicide right before our eyes. When this garbage passes for journalism, then keeping them on life-support is too generous.
