    If Canzano is so damned good, then why they hell doesn't he get a job in a major market and put me out of my misery?

    I don't care, I disagree that these were "sports-related" and I made a joke. Yahtzee!

    You take anonymity to the next level, trying to hide your old Internet name. That's cutting edge! ;)

    And I have no problem giving my real name right here and now. It's Obama McYao. You want to meet and make something of it, tough guy?

    Define "major market". The Oregonian has the largest subscriber base north of San Francisco and west of Denver. It puts the Seattle rags to shame.

    Thing is, that column could just as well have been written by Margie Boule.

    But, I digress...........

    Yes, that's why I winked. No idea about the old name, but I do find the cloak of anonymity to be quite comfortable. It makes it near-impossible to actually act like a normal human being.

    I think a lot of people here don't understand the difference between a columnist and a beat writer. No surprise, given what I read on this board.

    It's the 19th biggest paper in the country at 263,600. Seattle is the 20th at 263,468. Those extra 132 subscribers really put Seattle to shame, all right.

    Considering the population, the Oregonian actually does pretty well. Houston Chronicle has only another 100,000 subscribers, yet Houston has almost 6 million people in the metro area.

    I'd define major market as the top 10 or so papers, myself.

    Thank you for defining a major market to me. Meanwhile, the LA Times is bankrupt, the Boston Globe is about to shut down, and the NYT stock price has been plummeting for years.

    Least I could do, since you asked. But I don't think I defined it "to" you, I just gave you my opinion.

    Whereas the Oregonian is in great shape? The newspaper business is going down the toilet, no paper is immune. But I don't see how that has anything to do with which papers are major market papers.

    Newspapers just need to learn how to make money on the internet. The thirst for information/news is as great as ever. The companies that learn how to adapt to the world of the internet will do fine.

    Jesus, he won AGAIN?! We'll never hear the end of it now.

    EDIT: Wow, both winning portfolios had a Katie Shearer article. Milkin' it!

    Oh, I don't know...I think I act a lot like a normal human being. But "normal human being" is my online persona. Makes a refreshing change of pace.

    Sure, of course. But newspapers will still be dead, whether the corporations that used to print them survive or not.

    Newsblogs will rise from the ashes of newspapers. Until people tire of that old, out-moded form, and then newstwitters will rise from the ashes of the newsblog dinosaurs.
