Time to cut out our Busch Light love affair

[Halincandenza]

Me too. I’d love to see the DMR keep shedding subscriptions until they fold.

Cool!

I'd prefer they just get their act together and produce a quality product, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

The Register has lost the trust of its readers and it is irreparable. I hope they fold and we get a reputable replacement.

25 years ago I’d agree.
Now they’re not needed and they have proven for decades that they don’t know their audience.

Like what? It's a one newspaper town so there's no competitor to swoop in and it's not as if anybody is clamoring to get into the print news business these days.

 

[FinalFourCy]

Cool!

Don’t be a snowflake.

 

[Halincandenza]

Don’t be a snowflake.

Ok.

I’m not optimistic it will happen but I wish it would.

It’s with great pleasure that a crappy publication that tried to profit off call-out culture is suffering damage from that call-out culture.

Like the people outraged even have subscriptions let alone are able to read.

 

[FinalFourCy]

Ok.

Thoughts and prayers.

Calm down.

Hopefully their response is that an editor and reporter are no longer employed.

That’s fine and should probably happen but this is on us to end them once for and all. They’ve never been a friend to ISU anyway. At the very least they need to be humbled to the point that they don’t open heir mouths again. Let them die their slow death but don’t let them have a voice while they are doing it.

 

[Knownothing]

I think the DMR is living off old people that still like to hold the paper and read it. Wondering how many of them will get mad enough to cancel.

 

[CtownCyclone]

if his tweets go national

They already are.

 

[Halincandenza]

Calm down.

Ok

Anytime you want to offer a counter argument go ahead. I realize attacking people is easier tho.

 

[CoKane]

We live in the stupidest possible timeline

Welcome to CF Aaron. Don't know if it's a good idea to be surfing the web on a day when your job is most definitely in jeopardy, but I suppose it's not the worst decision you've made this week.

Hi. You are just as dumb as I suspected.

Hi. You are just as dumb as I suspected.

Please refrain from personal attacks.

They have been radio silent since issuing their statement at 10:48pm on FB and are just getting killed on social media and by other news outlets today. Eventually you think they will break their silence and try to do some more damage control right? If their next move is they just move on like this never happened and don't issue a better apology and lay out a plan that something like this will not happen again the backlash will only get worse.

They'll never release numbers of how many subscriptions and advertisers they lost on this but it surely will be very significant.
