Re: Conservative, pro-war, pro-Bush paper dies

You know absolutely nothing about The New York Sun. It was founded by the
arch rival of Rupert Murdock, who was obsessed with Murdock's success in
this country with Fox News and The New York Post, and his purchase of The
Wall Street Journal. They own competing tabloids in London. He dearly wanted
a presence in New York. He launched The New York Sun and named it after an
old New York paper that died in 1950. The paper was definately very pro
Israel, and had former staff from The Forward at the helm. They hooked in
readers with very attactive front pages and extensive arts coverage. But, it
was a niche demographic from the start. There is a small, but growing,
number of Republicans of Jewish heritage in New York. He sought to tap into
that. They gave away the paper for free on street corners. If you tried to
cancel your subscription, you got it for free, too.

The conservative daily which supported Bush and his Iraq fiasco
has published its last edition. Besides supporting Bush, then paper was
an avid defender of Israel and an equally avid denouncer of Iran.

The implication being, since the Sun supports conservatives, it's dieing.
That's hogwash.

The death of the Sun is more than likely due to lack of financial
resources to carry it through these troubled times when newspapers
throughout the country are being financially hurt. Big newspapers like the
New York Times, Washington Post, and Los Angeles Times have had to make
sever operating cuts and lay off hundreds of people and it looks like it's
going to get worse for the printed news business.
