....not for ever as it turns out;

---

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon has ordered the military's independent
newspaper, Stars and Stripes, to cease publication at the end of the
month, despite Congressional efforts to continue funding the
century-old publication.

The order to halt publication by Sept. 30, and dissolve the
organization by the end of January, is the latest salvo in the
Pentagon's move earlier this year to cut the $15.5 million in funding
for the paper from the department's budget. And it is a reflection of
the Trump administration's broader animosity for the media and members
of the press.

This really, really sucks.

Late breaking news, Trump reverses himself on closing Stars and
Stripes:

This is good news for the military, but it begs the question of what
was Trump's original beef with the paper? Did they run an article
that he considered unfavorable, or was it something else? It
certainly wasn't the money. $15 mil is a drop in the bucket for the
defense budget.

I suppose it might depend on how many people actually read it. Ernie
Pyle's readers didn't have an I-phone.
OTOH if Trump loses, it can be Biden's new pert project.

I agree. Having spent 11 years overseas, I especially agree with Graham's
comment, "And Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., in a separate letter to Esper in late
August, also voiced opposition to the move, calling Stripes “a valued “hometown
newspaper” for the members of the Armed Forces, their families, and civilian
employees across the globe.”

In reading the articles, I cannot find that Trump made the proposal. The
Pentagon made the proposal, and Trump shot it down.

Harry is in the wind as far as Usenet is concerned. His news server
subscription lapsed and he is not renewing although he might pop up on
GG.
