More Media Hate

Fuck newspapers and fuck merger agreements.

From Frontburner:

So, once the Star-T signs off on this, the News will run ST stories on the Rangers and motorsports. And the ST will run News stories on the Stars and the Mavs. And both papers will continue to “compete’’ on the Cowboys, though at one point, the ST was actually considering given up the Cowboys to the News. … Which, as someone must have realized, makes sense because the Cowboys are moving to Tarrant County, remember.

The only semi-winner in this thing, on the surface, would seem to be Nancy’s BFF, Evan Grant, the fine Rangers beat writer who is getting “promoted’’ to Morning News beat writer for the Cowboys. Not sure if he thinks it’s a promotion (Nancy won’t say … b****). He’ll go from full ownership of the Rangers to competing with ESPN trying to break Cowboys stories. And I have no idea how much he likes football, but I KNOW he absolutely lives for stuff between the lines (the games) and even the geeky stuff in the off-season, like the baseball winter meetings. So even the winner loses.

We can now get 17 people writing about the fucking Cowboys and Anthony Henry's infected taint muscle but will lose Evan Grant's ability to cover baseball? This makes me a very sad panda.
