Dennis and Theresa Phillips take over stable of Moser papers

Dennis and Theresa Phillips, publishers of the Hearne/Franklin, Cameron/Rockdale, and Marlin/Rosebud papes, are now reportedly also owners of all of the above as well.

I knew, when I tried to go back "home" in 2018, that they had a small minority stake in Jim Moser's ownership of the three pairs of papers.

Rumor last year was that they are becoming or will be becoming majority (sole?) owners of said papers. And, I've gotten confirmation on that last month.

Sounds like Jim is cutting bait, like Big Jim Chionsini wanted to do with some of the less profitable papers in Granite Publishing's purview when he came back and shoved daughter Brandi aside.

Given Dennis and Theresa's already demonstrated lack of ethics and possible illegality on the Marlin paper, things will surely go even further downhill. (I'd also expect the Rosebud paper to be shut down.)

Sorry, folks.

The only good news that MIGHT come out of this is pure schadenfreude. IF Ty Clevenger eventually publicly surrenders on the vile Seth Rich conspiracy theory bullshit and goes back to his Central Texas roots of chasing Booger County Mafia, him fighting Dennis without Moser around to wade in anymore could be fun.
