Same thing up here in Anchorage. When there were two papers, they both had real journalists and good information. Now we got one and it's just a bunch of advertisements with AP stories thrown in and an occasional fluff piece by a local amateur writer.
It's looking like the old line rightwing libertarian rag, The OC Register, here in Orange county is sliding down the tubes too. I used to read both the Times and Register for contrast back in the day.
