I wouldn't have believed it, but the Fish Wrap actually got much worse after McClatchy bought it. I recently came across a Saturday edition from 2005, and it was like looking at a completely different publication. The sorry excuse they have left is, I'm sure, an embarassment to those who put it together. I feel soory for those left.
