    "The largest newspaper chain in the United States has an ongoing business relationship with a company linked to a sprawling network of over a thousand “pink slime” publications — sites that profess to be local but have no local staff and do not disclose funding they’ve received from political sources."

    Fun fact: The guy who wrote this article burned me all my CDs in high school when we were in the same geometry class.

    OK, after actually reading this, I'm still not exactly sure what's going on.

    Among the many things I did not learn is what exactly these "pink slime" outfit does, the definition of pink slime and why it's an issue or the plans for this company moving forward.

    In other words, all the things that we would have needed for this to be a story of consequence. Which is a bummer, because I love any opportunity to rip Gannett for being terrible.

    Yeah, there’s something here, but this story seems to very carefully not tell exactly what.
