Opposition weighs in on newspaper deal

Doug Thompson, columnist for these guys, sorts this out:

The biggest difference between the newspaper war in Little Rock and the newspaper war in Northwest Arkansas is that everybody in Little Rock knew that either the Gazette or the Democrat was going to die. Nobody in Little Rock was fooled when the Democrat started calling itself the Democrat-Gazette.
Here, the Democrat-Gazette kills a paper, then props up the corpse. And it works.
