Has anyone linked a decline in circulation with the editorial board of the Globe. They have been well behind the curve on the public’s appetite for new taxes. Why buy a newspaper if you disagree with the bias that is visible on the front page and editorial page every day?Is it possible that the Sun saw almost no decline because the newspaper more closely represents the viewpoint of their constituents?
