I don’t know how I missed this oldish article(??)…

Newsday will continue to hemorrage money as long as it is owned by the Dolans. Dolans – give it up. It has nothing to do with the economy.

And yes people, this is what the unions are for. To prevent employees from being completely bulldozed by management. Imagine how bad it would be without the union. As it is, even the union can’t protect the bias writing by Newsday.

It’s no wonder that Snoozeday is so anti-union. I would imagine that their writers/journalists are being force fed what to write.

Cablevision’s day will come when a worthy newspaper competitor steps up to the plate, and everyone has access to FIOS.

The second cablevision and those heathens known as the dolan’s bought newsday I knew it was going down the toilet. I saw it more with coverage more focused on the knicks, and rangers. The yankees and mets coverage had always been pretty good, but I could see they both were not being covered right. Same could be said to an extent with the jets and giants. The Islanders on the other hand have been ridiculed in newsday since the dolan’s took over. Whether it was in regards to the lighthouse project or what was happening on the ice. The coverage on them became abysmal. I quit buying newsday every morning before going to work. I rely more on bloggers and yahoo sports these days since I don’t have to pay to read the articles on the websites. I remember a story in regards to the Lighthouse project last summer that was reported by one of the Islanders bloggers and on various hockey websites the day it happened and newsday didn’t print it for more then 10 days after it was circulating the web. But what really angered me about newsday’s coverage of the story was edin larkin changed it around and edited it to her liking and made the story into a negative piece on the islanders, the fan base and the lighthouse project. If I ever move back to LI or any part of new york for that matter, i’ll never waste my money on newsday, even if the dolan’s sell the paper to someone who might help the paper regain their integrity.

They’re just trying to create these monopolies and make it impossible to live on Long Island without doing business with Cablevision

It’s the bloody Dolan’s–need anything more be said?

Long Island’s changing demographics is almost primarily due to Newsday itself. Newsday has perpetrated this change for at least twenty years (from at least the time of Grumman’s close-down and takeover by Northrup which move the lifeblood of Grumman off Long Island and out of NY). Newsday can deny this but Long Islanders have watched this juggernaut occur and, like myself, saw the political urgings and quest for Democratic voters and left New York permanently. Feel sorry for Newsday, and for that matter breedy Cablevision??…. Not in this lifetime.

I dont think its the Dolans alone. In part its the same old one sided very Liberal bias point of view, in every single story they print.

Good Riddens to Cablevision and Newsday.

They’ve had their time and it is high time they be gone.

Ironically, Newsday had a cable channel back in the mid-80s. Its survivors created the the Newsday Online dial-up BBS that was gaining thousands of subscribers until 1992, when the paper decided to provide content to Prodigy rather than develop its own digital strategy, and more importantly, its own online classifieds. But that’s a mistake just about every other paper made (along with never spending money on enterpise IT or trying to develop sites like About.com or Facebook) that sealed their fate. Dolan or no Dolan, they’d be going down as a result of missing myriad opportunities until none were left for them to miss anymore.

Not only are they destroying Newsday, but they’re using it to trash their readers.

Newsday is a shell of what it was. Cablevison has managed to tear down the once great paper that was a must-read for everyone at one time. It’s only a matter of time before we see the last copy. FIOS is awesome and I wish the Long Island Press would step up and really compete.

I don’t see what the problem is. Throw out the entire staff. The Editor right on down has done nothing productive for as long as I can ever remember. I stopped subscribing to this rag over 8 years ago. I can’t stand the Dolans, but in this case, I’d throw the entire staff out the door, keep the name, hire New, Fresh and Balanced Staff (not the one sided liberal crap they offer now) and start over again. It can’t be any worse!
