Frank A. Blethen is the CEO of Seattle Times Company.

The Seattle Times Company is a privately owned news and information company controlled by the Blethen family. Its flagship newspaper, The Seattle Times, is the largest daily newspaper in Washington state.

The Seattle Times began as the Seattle Press-Times, a four-page newspaper founded in 1891 with a daily circulation of 3,500, which Maine teacher and attorney Alden J. Blethen bought in 1896. Renamed the Seattle Daily Times, it doubled its circulation within half a year, and by 1915 circulation reached 70,000. As of March 2005, weekday circulation stood at 233,268.

The Seattle Times Company is family owned and operated and has been that way since it was founded in 1896 by Alden J. Blethen. Company revenue in 2003 was $346.0 million.

The Seattle Post Intelligencer (PI) is no more they went belly up in June 2009; They are limping along with a bland website that would put the UK Daily Mirror type paper to shame (ie no REAL news, lots of cute chicks on the front)

Challenge to the World News Media “2012 is not the end of the world” Rumors are on air by the news media like the demon in the disguise of God.‘Here is the tail, there is the tiger’ says the media. Earnings are high in the line of the media causing the outcome of more and more new channels everyday. Knowing the innocent pulse of the people, media are engaged in investing huge fortunes in the guise of ‘Better Society’. These double edged announcements reveal that – pesticides are involved in cool drinks on one side and on the other they advertise and promote the sale of these beverages by captioning ‘Taste the thunder’. People are preyed to the present media. Publishing and telecasting all these crazy stuffs as facts are taking the gullible for the ride. They stated: 1. The world is going to end in 2008 through the collider experiment in Geneva. 2. An asteroid would hit the earth in 2007 and the human race would become extinct. 3. All the planets would come in a straight line and something strange will happen to the mankind. 4. 1999 would be the end of the age. 5. Challenged God through Human Genome Project to expand human life. 6. They build another world through Biosphre-2 with a huge fortune. 7. Aliens are ready to invade earth who are most advanced than humans. Though all the above issues were challenged openly these media people are like the scorpion bitten burglars. So, now I come up with the new challenge that on ‘2012 December 21 Doomsday’ the world is not going to end. Face me in any of my public meetings accompanied by your scientists and their ideologies.
