Bye, The Sun
Struggling neocon broadsheet The New York Sun is closing up shop after tomorrow.
I guess it’s too bad in a way. Their arts, sports, and local coverage was supposed to be very good. And it’s sad when any newspaper goes under, especially one that stood against the dumbing-down trend in news coverage.
But then again, who needs it? AmConMag’s Daniel McCarthy:
The Sun was an attempt to re-establish a neocon perch in New York City’s broadsheet press. But the project was superfluous — who needs a “right-wing” social-democratic paper like the Sun, when the New York Times is ready to present David Brooks and Bill Kristol as the voices of acceptable conservatism?
I’m sure Eli Lake will find a job beating the war drums somewhere else.
