...it is nothing more than an advocate for kids on the hill and a few folks in the avenues. They chose to advocate for one side and paid the price. Capitalism will do that to you.

Nah DesNews is bleeding too probably...market forces...nothing to do with karma

BlooCoog

5/16/18 4:05pm

Note your use of "probably". You also miss that lots of people outside Utah

Oranje

I'm still confident the DesNews is struggling or runs on thin margins...yes they

BlooCoog

5/16/18 4:11pm

Again, you don't know that. Niether do we. I do know the Deseret News is

Oranje

Someone gifted me the DesNews and I have never lived in Utah

the market will decide. i'm fine with that

v1k0u6

5/16/18 3:55pm

I agree with you...the Trib will survive bc the market wants it; DesNews is

BlooCoog

5/16/18 4:01pm

Any concrete reason to think DN is subsidized?

panguitch

5/16/18 7:54pm

Do you know the Trib isn't pulling its weight in the joint operating

BlooCoog

5/17/18 1:40pm

DesNews is owned by a charitable org with huge resources, right?

Plato

5/16/18 4:26pm

Those huge resources came because of the market, no?

rcbyufan

5/16/18 7:20pm

Only if you count tithing as a market driven force 🙂

BlooCoog

5/17/18 1:36pm

Why wouldn't it be part of the market?

rcbyufan

5/17/18 1:53pm

"Perceived slant"? No, it's a very real bias.

Thanks for the post Mrs. Huntsman

gordon monson agrees.

I don't believe the coverage is fair. Sorry. Has a more liberal slant than

Idahofallsblue

5/16/18 4:00pm

Sure the slant is liberal...that why I like it...but it's still fair. Liberals

BlooCoog

5/16/18 4:08pm

By fair, you mean telling one sided stories without any rebuttal

donnerstag

5/16/18 4:11pm

Fair? It would be fair if it were balanced, but it isn't, and it's not close.

Oranje

5/16/18 4:13pm

I have liberal friends and love them

Idahofallsblue

5/16/18 4:16pm

Seek not to be offended when no offense is intended

BlooCoog

5/16/18 4:21pm

The point you're missing is that offense is VERY intended with the SLTrib.

ArchbishopMitty

5/16/18 4:25pm

I just said it was rude. I'm not offended.

Idahofallsblue

5/16/18 4:48pm

Agreed...although the same thing could be said of the DesNews; How often do they

BlooCoog

5/17/18 1:42pm

I agree

Idahofallsblue

5/17/18 2:20pm

As if saying it over and over makes it really so...

ArchbishopMitty

5/16/18 4:23pm

I wouldn't even call it "liberal" all of the time. It's mostly just

Yeah that pulitzer was deserved... *eyes roll out of my head* Multiple times they would reach out to BYU or the church

it is no longer necessary and will go the way of the dodo bird

Nat Gas Man

5/16/18 4:09pm

You're right it's not necessary; only conservative, white Mormons should have

BlooCoog

5/16/18 4:14pm

So, Des News understands its demographic and Trib alienates it.

Iman23

5/16/18 4:16pm

really? There are only a few papers that were ever considered

Nat Gas Man

5/16/18 4:19pm

That would be scary if people relied on Twitter for their news; there's a reason

BlooCoog

5/16/18 4:23pm

the fact is that Twitter is now the #1 source, like it or not

Nat Gas Man

5/16/18 4:28pm

Truly scary. When everyone's a printing press, lots of unreliable info gets out

BlooCoog

5/17/18 4:18pm

Nobody's muzzling the Trib, except their own editorial choices and market forces

Gil Buckman

5/16/18 4:25pm

Why are you so fired up about this?

whirl

5/17/18 11:11am

Let me guess.... You work for the Trib.....

Haha no...don't work there. Just a subscriber and daily reader.

BlooCoog

Michelle Quist could not be reached for comment on this assertion...

Gil Buckman

5/16/18 4:13pm

You're letting your political views taint your judgment.

Bob Vance

people are so binary about this. the truth is, yes the trib

I don't necessarily disagree with a lot of what you said, but why

LOL, you mean "news" source.

ArchbishopMitty

5/16/18 4:21pm

Your assertion is not supported by the numbers or current status

Sugar Mr. Poon

5/16/18 4:25pm

Yeah, that is why Trib has a permanent section titled Polygamy

Hinta

ZZZzzzz . . . .

Perceived slant?

acougfan

5/16/18 5:15pm

The SLTrib comment section attracts the lowest form of life on earth. This is

Dynasty1

5/16/18 5:18pm

Can't argue with you there; lots of unsavory comments....disappointing for sure

BlooCoog

"impact journalism"

panguitch

5/16/18 5:29pm

Too bad they are so bias towards reporting anything negative towards the UofU
