I'd see the cluelessness as on your end. Scaife flushed away tens of millions a year on a subpar publication and relied on deep discounts and hypermarketing to create an impression of growth and success, a pricey parlor trick.

Now, reality has set in and Team Jennifer is trying to recover from all this by divesting, laying off, buying out and downsizing, a strategy of reduction, of doing less with less, offering lousy coverage and not as much of it. In the universe of Trib Total Bertetto, there are fewer lousy journalists, but also fewer good ones. Pittsburgh will be online. Greensburg and VND will be in print, though neither are worth the paper they are still printed on.

The quality of the new, diminished Trib is no better than it was when Dick was at the controls and flinging around his millions for his own amusement. That won't change. Why? Because the Jen gang doesn't know how to improve it and most importantly, doesn't care.
