Talk:The State (newspaper)

Wouldn't this title more appropriately be about the comedy group The State? The one existing link at gun control can be changed to "the State". --Brion 22:07 Oct 3, 2002 (UTC)


 * I second Brion's thoughts. The State comedy troupe/T.V. show is a continetnal phenomenon with a large cult following.  I imagine, especially with the sucess of Reno 911 and the cult following of Stella that there's infinitely more interest in the comedy group than a newspaper in South Carolina.

 * I agree. At the very least it shouldb be a disambiguation page with options. I thought I had typed in something wrong when this came up. (ImagoDei 23:00, 13 June 2006 (UTC))

ownership
According to Hightower Lowdown Vol. 23 No. 5 (June 2021) McCarthy's 30 newspapers were acquired by hedge fund Chatham Asset Management in August 2020. I hope someone with the know how and interest in the sad state of print journalism will verify and update this in the article. Please don't send me advice on how to do it myself. I'm not that tech savvy and stick to hard copy editing. 207.144.137.130 (talk) 21:10, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
