I'm going to push away the dubiousness due to the LDS issue and I'm going to assume that the SLT is a good newspaper in the following comment. To be forthright in my bias, my general views on Utah are not that great though... stemming from their stupid fucking criss-crossing streets and over usage of concrete barriers in the middle of the road all the fucking time.

Cough, excuse me.

I'm really curious about the repercussions of this. If this works out decently for them, I'm pretty sure other news outlets of all shapes and sizes will follow in the next few years. Maybe this is good. There's a potential here to revitalize the news system in general. They won't be so dependent on pandering to a select few corporations and bullshit advertising methods. Maybe this will bring some more unbiased... wait, no probably not. Not being funny, that just made me realize the folly. If donations are going to be a big play, the only way to really get good donations is to appease a certain viewpoint. I don't know... maybe there's a way to mitigate that? It does say no more political endorsements... eh... I doubt that'll happen. I was hoping to have a good, happy train of thought on this one. Then I remembered that all humans are assholes.

Fucking hate driving in Godless wasteland of a state.
