The fate of San Francisco Chronicle

Do you know how to say "Law of the jungle", or "Survival of the fittest" in Chinese?
"The weak, meat. The strong, eat."
It's funny because even in English, it rhymes.

Pete mentioned the New York Times creating a Bay-area version.
I think the San Francisco Chronicle, is becoming a meat.

"The 144 year old paper lost more than a quarter of its daily circulation in the first half of 2009, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulation, dropping a steep 25.8 per cent to under 252,000 readers."

It is really ugly, because every newspaper including the New York Times experienced circulation slide of more than 10% in the second quarter.
