I'd feel bad for his family but it would be funny if the prototype of incompetent brown nosers that spread the company line was turned on by the company. Haha

Maybe Ole Miss fans will be able to tell what's going on with the NCAA investigation now.

As much as I hate to hear about someone losing their job, if the boycott caused Fatburger to lose his job, I'd likely celebrate.

I don't feel sorry for them. It was their shitty articles that caused it. Plus some dumb ass hired them at the CL and I am sure there are plenty of dumb asses in that busy at other papers who will hire them again.

That's why you don't piss off alumni of the largest University in the state that you are covering.

So... they took Pauling off the Ole Miss beat a few weeks ago. I wonder if he went the same way as Blevins?

I hear that the CL is doubling down on the JSU beat. Ole Miss can be covered by a Memphis paper honestly...

They fired the JSU beat writer.

Maybe the CL is giving up on mass appeal as the masses have given up on it. All that's left is to focus on Jackson.

They could drop the big 3 schools and just syndicate what the Bob Carscadons are writing.

The CL is a Nashville paper anyway...

I have suspected that local Gannett newspapers would virtually shut down. The CLs of the world would become USA Today with a few local articles. They might even get rid of local employees altogether and just pay people for freelance articles.

Haha, here is a comment from 8:50 this morning:


Please let one of them be Hugh "Flounder" Kellenburger.

They're hurting obviously.

Stop being sheep and pandering to the school of yesteryear's relevancy, or die a slow death. It's up to them. They could easily decide to take a neutral stance towards the largest university in the state, but their stubbornness will likely end them.

People that are HORRIBLE at their job SHOULD lose their job. As far as I know we haven't totally gone to socialism. I would like to think that there are a few upstanding folks running that paper that still believe in real journalism and maybe said enough is enough. Probably not true, it was probably just a financial decision, but I would like to think it anyway.

Yep. This is a common trend in the world of public information nowadays. Just this past week information came out that the National Weather Service is wanting to 'reorganize' the organization -- essentially downsizing most of the local offices in favor of larger regional and national offices.

It's conceivable that they could just shut down, as the major newspapers in Alabama have done. Neither Huntsville, Birmingham, or Mobile have daily papers any longer, and each of those towns is larger than Jackson. They just publish 3 days a week. Not sure, but I think Montgomery's daily is still intact. Pretty sure the Times-Picayune in New Orleans is only a 3-day a week paper now. Lots of small towns have dailies, but it's mostly "Bessie May visited Grandma yesterday" type content.
