@1
I would think Dan Savage gives a shit, given that his column is syndicated in every paper owned by Village Voice Media except the Seattle Weekly.

More to the point @1 YOU don't give a shit.

But then, we don't give a shit about you, either, so that pretty much evens things out, now doesn't it?

I give a shit. But don't understand. Apparently I don't give enough of a shit to do a bit of reading on the issue. But I do give a shit.

No one reads the Weekly!

...except Stranger employees.

So the Stranger probably makes $400,000 a month. If my math is correct, that's like 5.6 MILLION dollars a year.

@8: That's advertising revenue, not profit. There's a big difference.

so why no union benefits for employees?
why no medical insurance for interns?

actually newspapers, and the 'alternative press' in particular, are keen interests of the troll.
The Stranger takes no pain to hide it's glee at the misfortune of rival Weekly's parent.
however it is shortsighted for anyone in the business to wish ill to any paper- a little like porters on the Titanic arguing over locker space.

@2; and that makes us wonder why Stranger seems to go out of it's way to piss off VVM

sorry chris
slog's lack of affection for the troll doesn't register even a micromilligram on the scales...

IF this takes money out of Dan's pocket, then we all win.

Keep up the good work Eli!

Jeff,

You posting on SLOG puts money in Dan's pockets, duuuuude. Joke is on you, I guess.

Yep, and every time he posts about the weekly, PI, Times, etc. he repays the favor.

So I'd say the net gain here is zero.
