Therefore, I think it's fair to say that the boycott is having a big negative impact on the Riverdale Review's bottom line.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554264138811233395.post-12439807393949260782011-12-16T04:58:19.650-08:002011-12-16T04:58:19.650-08:00Same deal with the Press.

But the long, long disjointed article totally misses the point that the boycott movement is more than just PS 24 parents. For example, there are also many PS 81 parents, RKA parents, SAR parents, and Kinneret parents. In addition, the boycotters include many senior citizens and others who have no connection to the local schools. <br /><br />Even more surprising, the article never mentions all of the advertisers who have left the Riverdale Review (by my count almost 20 major advertisers gone!). Also, it fails to note that almost 1,000 people have signed on to the boycott movement.<br /><br />Still, that front-page color photo alone is worth more than a thousand words!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554264138811233395.post-8477953427189824192011-12-07T10:17:02.515-08:002011-12-07T10:17:02.515-08:00YES, a sinking ship.
