I wrote Dezazo the so called FRedericksburg paper sports director Hack


Local guy, hasnt done anything but graduated from UVA, and hates anything about VT. He's also not too friendly guy in the community. (guess he fits the UVA degree).....

I wrote him an email and laid him out my concerns.


However, remember, papers are gone, the Fredericskburg paper, Richmond Times, Charlottesville and Lynchburg and a couple of smaller papers all owned by one company. All printed in one print plant in Lynchburg. They have reduced staff, and consolidated- mostly in Richmond. Not much left.

Virginian Pilot and Daily Press is worse. They are own by the Tribune incorporated a financial investment company that rapes papers. They have destroy the Chicago Tribune, Baltimore Sun, and San Diego papers as well as more. just to squeeze profits.

So community papers are fading fast.
