WTF?!?!

Pull the handle and flush....

The only subscriptions they have are accidents. They are irrelevant to the majority. And, the minority.

You might just want to skip the clarion liar.

Worse, the C-L is irrelevant to the community.

Put them out of their misery

I can assure you as a former employee from 10 years ago that the clarion ledger is far from the publication it once was. I line my cats litter box with it now. It's worthless. Absolutely worthless.

I expect better from you Kingfish. I looked at the source, CL website, and the article is about Covid affecting chicken plant workers. As we all know, the vast majority are Hispanic with Spanish as a first language. The article is in English with a link in case you want to read it in Spanish. It was an added value for those workers who can't read English.

Muy bueno! Tiempo de la Fiesta!

@9:46 AM

You left out "flush twice 'cause it's a long way to the non-functional sewage treatment plant".

The Clarion-Ledger???

What is the Clarion-Ledger?

@10:40 a.m.

As another former longtime employee, I couldn't agree with you more. Unfortunately, I can't line the cat's litter box with the paper because I stopped subscribing years ago. What Gannett corporate and at least three incompetent publishers back to back to back have done to the paper is awful.

Hasta La Vista Baby.

I disagree with 10:40 a.m. The C-L has been a piece of crap for at least twenty years.

So, how many of these non-English readers pay $68 a month and subscribe to the C-L?

I expect people who migrate to a new country to learn the customs, attitudes, and LANGUAGE of the country they are moving to. Why don’t you move to China and see how far you get in life over there by refusing to learn Chinese.

Sports is in English. That's all that matters.

I expect better from you Kingfish.

You are so easily offended. How many masks are you wearing?

In most cases, I have to have a subscription to the CL to read its articles online. How many illegal immigrants does the CL think subscribe to it? Especially just to read an occasional story in Spanish? A waste of time for a newspaper with fewer resources by the day.

Just glad they were able to squeeze in a non-JSU/Deion Sanders article.

Fantastic! My parrots are from Latin America so now they can read their cage liners!!!

@10:46 AM - Look pendejo, there are multiple articles in Spanish, most likely because the C-L takes their orders from their distant and very PC mothership.

The C-L is also making preparations for the wave of millions of Spanish speaking only "undocumented border crossers" that will be arriving after January 20. One big wave is already heading north from Central America.

KF, stay the course.

9:46 wins !

Publishing an occasional online story in Spanish makes the social justice editors feel better about themselves - that's the only reason for doing it, because there's not a business case to be made. After all, their feelings are the only thing that's important to them.

@11:08

You sound like an irrelevant Karen. There are no laws that even state that English is the official language of our country. The crappier-liar posting articles in Spanish is a good business decision at best. They need someone to read the utter garbage printed in it. Last I recall, this is a free country. We are free to celebrate whatever customs, attitudes, or languages that we desire as long as they violate no laws.

Sorry 1:11, he's right. Obvious you didn't like his response to your initial post.

There has been a name change - Clarion-Virtue Signaller.

What I find hilarious, is the fact they think this may save their inevitable collapse.

The local hard working Hispanics are too smart to even read that "paper".

Much less willing to shell out that much money for three day old "news".

It’s a free country, if it sells more newspapers more power to them.

"It’s a free country, if it sells more newspapers more power to them."

I agree 100% !
Perhaps if the Clarion Ledger established a VIP club for subscribers ?
Kind of like other local print media . . . $1.24 per month for unlimited access ?

Just a random thought.

Do you people not know anything?

Every time I light a charcoal fire in my BBQ pit starter chimney, I thank the Lord for the CL. IMO there is no better chimney paper out there than the C-Rag. One or two sheets usually does it. One issue goes a long way, requiring me to buy one maybe three times a year. Sometimes I find one I didn't buy and that makes me very happy.

11:08, lived in China for a couple of years without fully learning Mandarin. Made it just fine to answer your question. Maybe because there aren’t the same assholes over there that think being asked to “press 1 for English” is “tyranny.” And yes, I chose my words carefully, the “SpEaK eNgLiSh” crowd is made up of assholes.

And lol at the conservative snowflakes who are so “triggered” at this. This is a complete nonstory.

Clarion Ledger is stupid. 11:08 is stupider.

I can't believe that some on here don't think that you should learn the language of a country where you move. These must be the same people who support "undocumented immigrants" moving here.

"Just glad they were able to squeeze in a non-JSU/Deion Sanders article. "

I don't read Spanish, so for all I know those articles WERE about Deion Sanders. Not losing any sleep as the C-L circles the drain though.

11:08 is too thick-headed to understand the difference. I'm assuming your almost two years on China was either a work assignment or an educational opportunity (really?). You didn't move there permanently or slip across the border with an expectation of going underground for the next fifty years. You knew you had either work associates, customer relations interpreters or others to hold your hand. You also did not undergo any sort of nationalization or citizenship process. Your insistence that only an 'asshole' would support our Constitution and laws is absurd. Tell mom hello and remind her to mail your letter to Santa.

Those undocumented workers who don't speak English are providing you with your Christian Chik-fil-A biscuit every morning. Maybe we should have an English test along with the job application at all of our chicken plants. You'll really see the Republican businessmen and women cry foul then. Now who are the hypocrites?

You'll really see the Republican businessmen and women cry foul then.

Nah, they'll get their decades long complicit mouthpiece Sid Salter to do the crying for them.

I would say you are at 8:27. Only a hypocrite would call out someone for doing the same thing they do. That is what makes them a hypocrite. You seem to have a problem with self-awareness. Do you pretend to have a problem buying products from China made with slave labor, or is that alright?

"I disagree with 10:40 a.m. The C-L has been a piece of crap for at least twenty years."

Nope. Well over 40 years.

7:53,

I’m not 11:08. But your comment was clearly directed towards mine (8:39), so I’ll respond.

Let’s get some things clear:

You don’t know how long I was in China.

You don’t know why I was there.

You don’t know what my circumstances were when I was there.

Clearly, you don’t know a single thing about me. Just like you apparently don’t know a single thing about “our Constitution and laws,” which absolutely do not establish an official language in the United States — which is significant because the Legislature had a damn long time to amend the Constitution to establish one as the United States acquired more and more land where Spanish speakers predate English speakers (including parts of this state).

But no, I’m not naive enough to think you’re going to let facts get in the way of you getting “triggered” by seeing a newspaper article in Spanish.

Learn American! It’s not like the Spanish ever settled Mississippi, or the South for that matter.

@ 6:06 You are right on the mark brother, but for De Soto, Cabeza de Vaca and the other conquistadors us whiteys would be sitting in a stew pot. If you look hard at Florida as a political entity (not as a U.S. state) even now its official language would have been Spanish longer than English.

I'm old man and long for the days of yore when us white folks were masters of the universe fresh back from nuking the nips but well, times and change and poop happens.

@6:06 PM - History Fail! The first governor of the Natchez District (1789) was Spanish explorer Manuel Gayoso de Lemos. Source: http://www.mshistorynow.mdah.ms.gov/articles/68/manuel-gayoso-and-spanish-natchez

Wait for it.....He spoke Spanish, which is what they speak in...Spain.

The Spanish also settled at Pensacola and Saint Augustine, both in Florida (just to help you out). Both are also considered to be in "the South." They too spoke....Spanish.

I never studied Spanish, but I can read it passably, as I am moderately fluent in French and Italian. I had no trouble grasping the gist of this article.

What troubles me most about your general readership/commenters, Kingfish, is how very uneducated they are. Assocative learning seems to have passed them by, and they have apparently settled into a complacent middle (or old) age, with far too much time these days on their ipads...

"So, how many of these non-English readers pay $68 a month and subscribe to the C-L?"

I'll take a guess: damned few of the CL readers, paid or not, are English... but I'd bet the Irish would love it if they only knew about it. I'll just let that last crack percolate.

"This is a complete nonstory."

That should be on the masthead.

@1:16 PM - true. When I was in high school in the 60s in another state out west, three (3) years of a foreign language were required. I believe that years later the snowflakes did away with that requirement. The choices were Spanish, French, and Latin. My choice was Spanish, which turned out to be a good choice as I spent a fair amount of time working in Latin America as a adult.

Much more recently I lived in Italy for seven years. I chose to take an Italian language course at a university there. As you know, it is fairly easy to learn a second romance language.

I can't speak much French, but I do read it, along with Portuguese. I also speak "American."
