Better read than dead
It's really a shame that what was once a solid, stable newspaper and place to work for thousands of people in San Diego has been demolished by corporate America. I'm no big fan of the Copleys, but at least during their long era, they had a long term commitment to this city and seemed to want to benefit the city in many different ways. When Copley sold out to Platinum Equity, those money swindlers from Beverly Hills, that was the beginning of the end. And when crazy man "Papa Doug" (Manchester) ultimately got his hands on the paper, he showed how egregious a clueless and sinister newspaper owner with an agenda can really be. Most sad is the loss of wonderful and thoughtful writers such as Don Bauder (and others like Michael Grant, Don Freeman, Bob Laurence, David Eliott, etc.), who always made reading the old UT worth while.— May 25, 2015 7:42 a.m.
