Hey Byrd Family - How Much You Want for That DNR Rag?

The folks over at Hburgnews are discussing the running embarrassment called the Daily News Record; our Byrd family run, rightwing-fool operated local newspaper. This is the newspaper of record for Rockingham County and the City of Harrisonburg, and it is unfit to represent the changing demographics of the area. And while the anonymous editors openly mocked Mr. Obama as an elitist hollywood loving terrorist appeasing Liberal Socialist, he still won the City. In fact he was elected by a 9 million vote margin nationwide, and 235,000 in Virginia - the biggest margin ever by a non-incumbent Presidential candidate.

The boys over at the DNR carefully monitor their circulation numbers, because it helps them command their advertising rates and stay alive. So here is modest proposal:

Kill your subscription. Just say no to rightwing propaganda.

You don't need it anyway. You can find news more quickly online, and search engines are more comprehensive. So just cut them off. And when the circulation numbers get bad enough, and the ad revenues sink away. We'll buy the DNR and run it like a real newspaper, in a city that deserves better.
