Good bye and good riddance. I noticed that for their online edition they are signing up a bunch of liberals and no conservatives to write for them. Yes, I know Dan Evans is a Republican but that doesn't make him a conservative. He is a liberal. That is one of their problems. I'm old enough to remember a time when journalists were supposed to be objective and unbiased. The PI couldn't write a fair and unbiased article if their life depended on it. And considering tomorrow is their last day, I guess that proves it.
I don't drink but I may go out and celebrate the PI's demise.

Am extremely disappointed in losing the PI. I look back in time to the many subscriptions I've had with them and can honestly say that when I couldn't have the paper ON MY PORCH, I lost interest. Having to get dressed to go out to the end of my driveway in driving rain or snow, or sleet, etc, to pick up a drenched plastic bag wasn't very appealing.
As short a time ago as 2005 I signed up for a subscription because I was promised it would be put ON MY PORCH. But after a week of retrieving it from the end of my driveway, I thought the heck with it. SAME OLD SAME OLD. That was the last time I subscribed.
Having to read the news from my computer is not what I want. I simply won't do it. I like sitting down to my morning coffee and reading the paper. But if the companies aren't interested in putting out, I'm not interested either.

I'm sure the 41,000 trees a year are thankful that businesses are finally starting to learn that paper is a terrible medium to try to capture the ever flowing nature of today's news.
Now if only nwcn realized how annoying their pop up ads are, covering their own news with these ads, trying to get you to inadvertently click on them instead of a news story.

I might miss the regular "blah blah", the same tired old left-wing political rhetoric we have grown accustomed to from Seattle journalism (a bit like a tumor one has had to learn to live with...). Other than that, not a lot. I do have one reply to a comment David Horsey had about "this may be the end of democracy", or words to that effect. Mr. Horsey, it appears that democracy spoke about the PI's future; the democracy of the free market that decided it was sick and tired of lefties stuffing their opinions down our gullets, while refusing to take any time to listen to dissenting viewpoints. Folks chose not to throw away any more 50-cent pieces on your drivel!! You were voted out. Deal with it.
