Why Did Gannett Buy The “Military Times?”
I have “followed” the Army Times the entire time I have been in the Army, Army National Guard and Army Reserve. Ever since the publication lost it’s independence in 1997, after the acquisition by Gannett, it’s printed material has broken hard left:
On June 13, the company announced that it had entered into an agreement to purchase Army Times Publishing. Closing is expected to occur in the third quarter.
July 1, 1997
The “Military Times” sales department has an extremely inflated, in my opinion, “puff page” on circulation that if you accept as “fact” only has that business generating around $14,000,000 gross a year.
I always wondered why the parent of USAToday, that generates over $2,000,000,000 in annual revenue would buy such a little company. This weekend, I learned why and my six year suspicions were confirmed.
UPDATE:What did Gannet do to The Military Times after George W. Bush was elected? They made Robert Hodierne the Senior Managing Editor!!!
How did the chief spokesman for the U.S. Army in Vietnam describe the work of Robert Hodierne when Mr. Hodierne was a journalist covering the Vietnam war?
“… such stories do not border on treason — they are treason.”
Col. James Campbell
The worse thing is that this managing editor is proud he was called a traitor!!
