Now it has turned into another progressive publication with constant pushing of the liberal agenda. If that isn't enough they have decided to be anti-Fargo and anti-NDSU. Even their headlines are slanted. Just disgusting, but apparently they think this sells papers. Hope their subscriptions are plummeting.

    I think their subscriptions are going down. They had some buy-outs of employees a while back because of that.

    I cancelled my Forum (I am a 20-year, 7 days a week former subscriber). I LET THEM KNOW why and in no uncertain terms why I cancelled it. A good 20-minute rant. Poor subscription clerk. She told me she would let their managers know why. I said "good, because if you are not going to, I will write them a letter as to why." I still may write that letter. Not a letter to the editor but a letter to Marcil, Von Pinnon and Jack Zaleski.

    NDSU/Fargo is the Forum's bread and butter. They are shooting themselves in the foot by trying to cut down NDSU/Fargo. What else interests people? Fargo and NDSU are king. Everything else is small potatoes. No other university is as interesting as NDSU is. Even if I was not an alum, I would say that.

    I get The Forum and a few magazines delivered. After staring at a computer all day, it's nice to sit in the easy chair or on the couch and flip through the pages. I trust traditional media more than most of the fake news stories that show up on my Facebook feed.

    So.. we can assume: toughest 5 months of his life, still has athletic eligibility left and might be responsible for the Turf fire?

    There may be some truth to your Turf thoughts. Likely thought that a DQ would be a better business at that location.
