Scranton Post--where is it?

Does anyone know where this weeks edition of the Scranton Post is--I've been to many stores and the only copies are from November 7th--I've called over there and went there-- locked up and no one answering the phone-- I really would love to see this latest edition-- It should be very good--if only I knew where it was????????????????


Now ... if the last copies were from November 7th ... then Fay I would imagine that the post is missing for a bit longer than this week ... I went to the website and well ... there are no current stories up ... so I'm going to make a guess that they are gone! I don't know that for sure ... and I don't care one way or the other as I have never read a copy other than online of this paper ... but could it be that Joey helped put them under with his little slam on them a few weeks back ... Just a thought and again I don't have any proof that they are no longer with us ... but hey Fay ... maybe just maybe if you hit the contact us link on the top of their web page someone may be able to tell you what is going on ...

Stick a fork in the Scranton Post: it's done. So much for that massive level of support they got from DD.

Well we knew that would not last ... now how long do we think it will be before the Times Leader finds out that the people only say that they want a 2 paper town ... but in reality they only support 1 paper ... and that paper is the Times Tribune.

Hell that's who they are still using as news sources at DD ... I never see the Times Leader for sale when I stop for my coffee and paper in the morning ...

When I think about the newspaper topic in NEPA two key thoughts come to mind:

1. Timing - In an era when you can get at least some local news 24/7 on-line (and about every 12 hours or so on TV), why would the concept of a weekly newspaper make any sense at all???? Hell, the Scranton Post managed to even keep their on-line edition stale.

2. Coverage - I'm sorry, but a "Times Leader Scranton Edition" makes about as much sense as a "Times-Tribune Wilkes-Barre Edition". I've never bought the TL, despite it's quarter price. Why? Because it's a Wilkes-Barre newspaper, with a few Scranton stories thrown in. It's like GM's badge-engineered cars of the 80's...an Oldsmobile Omega was a Chevy Citation with a nose job.

As a side note, Franus and company just want to see a newspaper bash Doherty over the head a few times, which really has nothing to do with better or regional news coverage. Nothing new, innovative or original there, and most people (outside of the Taxpayers association and the Legion of Doom...one in the same, by the way) could care less.

Now the region does, in my opinion, need a truly regional newspaper. But that will not come in the form of a badge-engineeered TL or TT...for it to be a success, it will have to be a truly new publication. Look at national newspapers...the NY Times for years wanted to be the nation's newspaper, but people in Iowa were never interested. It took a completely new paper, USA Today, to accomplish that feat.

Well when I think about it ... I don't look for the Times Leader when I stop for my coffee ... I go right to the pile of the Times-Tribune ... grab my copy and go pay for my coffee and paper .... I never look for the Times Leader.

I agree with you Ag ... the DD'ers, Doomers and the Tax Payer's Association only want to have a paper bash the Mayor and the "Council Three" ... they don't want to see any positive articles about Scranton ... They are not happy unless they have something to bitch about ... so they continue to support the TT ...

They are looking for the post but ... and forgive me if I'm wrong on this ... didn't they bash them a few weeks back ... for not using DD as a source for their new stories ... I thought I read something like that on DD ... but I could be wrong.

Reading the DD stuff must be comparible to reading NAZI propganda from the 30's...where every discussion ends with "...and the Jews are at fault". Hell, DD has concocted their own verison of the "evil Jews" story via the "evil, all-powerful Irish Catholic Network" story. It's laughable until you realize that some of these folks really don't give a $hit about the lives and families of the elected officials they target.

Personally, I'm all for scrutinizing the official actions of each and every elected official, from Chris Doherty to Janet Evans. I'll call them like a I see them....Doherty has made some incredibly bad decisions (especially when it comes to personnel matters)...but he is not alone in that depatement. He's also done some good as well. Regardless, politiicans are human beings, and have to be judged on the totality of what they've actually accomplished. That's why I'm learning to towards voting for Chris Doherty again, unless there is a credible alternative. Janet Evans? Outside of being against Doherty and getting herself a job as a teacher, just what has she accomplished during her reign of public service?

Fay jumps on the conspiracy theory bandwagon with this...

The Scranton Post is gone-- like they never existed-- strange but gone-- sure makes one wonder doesn't it?


Now the Scranton Post couldn't have folded because they had costs that were too high for their revenue, that they were starting a business that simply doesn't appeal to most folks under the age of say 35 or because they were selling "news" that was two weeks old (in an era where you can get news immediately 24/7/365). Nope, I'm thinking that Fay believes something like...

...a group consisting of the Lynett family, coupled with the DeNaples, working with other prominent local Irish families, using money provided by the Jewish banking system, and with the full cooperation & support of the ZOG conspired to doom an independent voice for "the people" of Scranton.

Yes, as Pilchesky's traffic gets lower and lower, the remaining posters get stranger and stranger.

Actually, I think it is becoming increasingly more difficult to complain as their saviors commit political suicide in all sorts of creative ways. Even when presented with golden opportunities, "La Resistance" finds a way to let ego and hubris scuttle everything.

They had the ideal opening for a veto-proof majority, but was that good enough? No. The need for adoration trumped cooperation.

And precisely what does that tell you Glenn about the "movement"? Here's my two cents: the "movement" isn't about changing the governance of Scranton for the better, it's about ego glorification. Glad we agree on that one Cashuric.

Pilchesky is Lt. Col. Kilgore in Apocalypse Now, attacking an enemy held beach...not to accomplish some grand military objective...but simply because "Charlie don't surf", and he does (with apologies to any Vietnamese out there).

Note...I could have also used Kilgore's quote about napalm and compared it to the smell of a freshly filed lawsuit, but I thought the analogy was a bit of a reach.

They have always been an odd and entertaining bunch, but I have to agree that it has become stranger over the past few months. The rants of some of the posters are getting creepier by the day. I'm waiting for a few of them to start accusing each other of witchcraft.
