I’m not sure what the demographic is. My assumption has always been it is businesses and elderly who still have a subscription. Below you will see a memo sent to the city council (they have to designate the paper, the official paper of the city for legal notices on Tuesday night). With a city of 178K and over 60K households, the circulation numbers are not exactly stellar (19,568 weekdays and 31,468 on Sundays). Compare that to Yankton with a pop of 14K and circulation of 7,300Â or Mitchell with a population of 15KÂ and circulation of 9,400 or Aberdeen with a pop of 26KÂ and a circulation of 10,700, and it seems the small town papers have more support.
Someone told me about Perry’s new look a few weeks ago, and it seems it is real. But I’m curious if he is just styling it different or got a full on Mitch Krebs? Either way, I think it looks good, and I applaud Groton. I know it’s probably not easy for a reporter to try something new when it comes to personal appearances.
Detroit Lewis was the guest on Forum this week. It airs on KELO-AM & FM on Sunday morning. The Podcast will be up Friday.
We talked about many topics, including ambulance, school board election, municipal election, code enforcement, food tax and transparency in government.
A foul mouth red head, but disgusting?
Okay, we have all heard about Griffin. I agree, she should not have done what she did, and should have treated a sitting president better. Personally, I think Griffin is funny, but you have to be into gay men humor, which is really her style. If you are a gay man or have male gay friends, you get it. If you are an ultra conservative that thinks gays are sinners, well, I get why you don’t understand her.
To be honest, I really didn’t get her joke about Trump. Was I disgusted? A little, but more bewildered then anything. It wasn’t funny, and really wasn’t her style.
But something about this controversy really ticked me off. The word people used over and over again was ‘disgusting’. And I get it.
But do you know what is truly disgusting? A presidential candidate who brags about grabbing women’s vaginas, calls them pigs, calls his opponent a ‘Nasty Women’ etc. etc. Everyone thought that was just fine. Well it wasn’t, it was truly ‘disgusting’. Those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
Now hopefully Griffin goes back to what she is good at, and we can only wish our president would go back to his previous job to, or better yet, just go away.
