Evidently a lot of people inside the Times liked the publication as well; but getting advertisers to spend some money was not to be.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

It is a shame they could not keep it economically viable. I would have though the ad revenue for this publication would have come from Detroit, however with the big three seeking a bail out they obviously need to place their ad money into know larger circulation publication with a wider reach.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
