I'm Not Impressed with the Tucson Citizen

I know it has only been a few days, but I must say the new Tucson Citizen online version is just a waste of bandwidth.

Some of the early topics on this new "editorial" and "opinion" site include poems, forwarded emails about dog and cat diaries, sad stories about how the the paper used to be, people who liked the paper, people who hated the paper, but no actual substance of any kind.

Only two employees remain, so I know it's hard to function.

I really do wish the Tucson Citizen the best of luck, but if it continues, please re-brand it and leave some sort of legacy to the newspaper, whether people like that legacy or not.
