That's where Gannet really got their start (as far as becoming big), so I am well aware of the bias. But the idea is a really good one - and if they do focus "hyper-local" they will do very, very well. If they try to force a left slant in right-leaning areas, they will fail. The key is to stay local and cater to your customers.

It's nothing but a flaming libtard rag, populated by nearly-illiterate writers who flagellate deceased equines while pursuing their dream of multi-culti bliss. That being said, if they would just focus on local issues, the vast majority of the liberal bias would disappear, since this area is overwhelmingly conservative. We are continuously diluted by northern folks retiring here, but thus far have averted a mouth-breathing majority.

The answer: go intensely local and provide things that no one else can provide. Serve as a local hub for news, information and networking and you can outcompete National stories. This entire area has been overlooked and not pushed as people really do like to hear about things local. It looked good as a strategy then and still does to this day.
