    The article singles out a recent pro-union ruling that might've contributed to their issues, but no details about the $350M+ losses over 2 decades. Never miss an opportunity I guess.

      "In the 2010s, the editorial tone of the paper shifted from liberal to conservative, particularly after the editorial pages of the paper were consolidated in 2018 with The Blade of Toledo, Ohio. After the consolidation, Keith Burris, the pro-Trump editorial page editor of The Blade, directed the editorial pages of both papers.[3][4]"

      Purely a coincidence, I'm sure.

        Same sort of coincidence happened to Denver Post after Rocky Mountain News folded. It's just bizarre how often a surviving paper makes a hard right.
