Anybody hear about this recently? [www.cancelthetu.com](http://www.cancelthetu.com) I find it quite interesting and they do have a point to an extent. If nothing else the top banner Texan representation is quite amusing. Discuss. ---

TU isn’t that good in my opinion, they wrote a story on 2 of my friends, the majority of the shit was made up. Was talkin to my doctor and they wrote an article on him too, he actually had them cancel the article before they ran it because there was so much untrue shit in it. ---

TU sucks now. They got rid of their source line phone thing which I used to call during my nightly cereal meal before bed to catch up NFL, NBA, and NHL news. ---

it’ll end up canceling itself anyways. Print news papers are having hard times remaining profitable in a day and age where any news story is a click away on the computer. ---

I’m sure they are fired, which is why they are having an issue to begin with. As far as profitability, local newspapers are actually still making a profit, national sales however are suffering in all sorts of print. But even the TU posts all of its news online, problem is not everybody wants to read news on a monitor, and you can’t take your computer to the bathroom. (This is where a few people chime in and completely ruin the resale value of their laptop). ---

That’s the problem all the newspapers and even magazines are having. They are reconsidering that alternative, in a way where they will be able to still collect some sort of revenue from online readers too. ---

They’re just taking steps to make the company more efficient and cost-effective (from what I gathered from reading about 5 sentences on that site). Not a bad idea in today’s failing economy. ---
