A fair point, "Corporate employee," and one that Angela herself addressed in her next post. She also used her name on both posts, which is an excellent policy.

The problem with these once great alt weeklies (on the business side exclusively), in several markets (it’s not just Eason), is that the pioneers and founders who created them have turned them over to their idiot children. The over-indulged spawn of now-rich hippie media types are managing to run their parents’ companies into the ground. Quel dommage! But in every industry one can find examples of the ’self made son’ screwing up the family business. This can be a healthy thing, though, as it allows driven entrepenurs to launch their own companies and overtake them. Ah, capitalism!

The list of creditors did not include any amounts because we pay all our bills on time and all the invoices received to date had been paid. If you would like more information, you could call us here in Tampa and we would be more than happy to give you facts so that you don’t have to blog your assumptions.

This is insane. Since the take over The Reader has suffered its worst losses in terms of what I think actually made it valuable. It lost writers, and its local feel. Now it sounds like it will be gone all together. I’m sorry to The City Paper as well, if it has been anything like it has here, you deserve some sympathy.

What a scumbag. He’s like all those homeowners who got us in this mess, buying the city paper when he couldn’t afford it. Maybe he’s planning to sell it to Paulson for a few billion.
