They put the best face on it they can, but....
I think I'll just leave this open for comments, if anyone is so inclined. Please, no mean-spirited posts...
My basic comment is -- being a *Newspaper* in *Bend* has to be double whammy. And, um, especially if they bought into the "Bend is Special" hype that they so often portrayed. They bought a huge new building, and one has to believe that may be the problem.
Reading the article -- maybe I should have done that first, I was pretty startled by the headline so rushed this -- yes, it probably was the new building and equipment as well as buying another newspaper.
It's a bit disingenuous to make the issue about 'fairness' of the interest rates and penalty payments. Everyone in trouble with the bank could make that argument, no?
It matters not, I think, the whole spiel about how solid the newspaper was when they got the loan -- even going into how eager others were to loan them money.
Any way you look at it, we've only gotten one side of the story. Wonder how we'll ever hear the other side?
I guess by watching the results.
