More winning!

After 3+ to 7+ more years of President Trump, will there be any fish wraps left in America?

Be nice if some rich conservatives could start buying up these dieing left wing fishwraps.

No.
They have an unviable business model.
Just let them dissolve in bankruptcy.

If your product or service is no longer in demand, sooner or later your company is going to shrink in size and then go out of business.

“The development is distressing for members of the journalism industry as a whole, but they should also concern news consumers who need clear-eyed, concise, fearless truth-telling now more than ever.”

Yeah, news consumers do need concise, fearless truth-telling. Too bad the establishment media provide politically-biased fairy tales instead.

Politics is a scam and we’re suckers for playing.

I think they are too smart to throw their money away. With electronic media now completely functional and entrenched, they know that it’s only a matter of time until we see the end of print newspapers. We dropped our subscription to our local newspaper when the guy who started it died and his bimbette second wife sold it to a conglomerate. I mean just look at the “three major Alabama newspapers that are covering Moore.” They are all exactly the same except for the masthead.

Free advertisers that include local news play a part in their demise.

Our local, failing, Buffet-owned newspaper continues to cut staff also.

They seem to keep on a few far-left editorial writers who follow a very small amount of local issues, a skeleton sports staff for local sports, and then fill their daily paper with flimsy AP and Reuters feeds.

The Denver Post seems to be a very Progressive paper. Here is a recent editorial:

Our un-American aversion to gun control

It starts with this lie:

“I find it important to remind myself that mass shootings happen almost nowhere else but the United States.”

That is false. Per capita, much of the world, even Europe, have as many casualties from mass shooting as the U.S. does.

It also focuses on the wrong metric. It those who want to kill many innocents switch to vehicles, poison, or bombings, doe that reduce the body count?

Right on the point. Years ago, I read DAILY, the editorial and news pages of FOUR newspapers, ranging from the Boston Globe and Herald, down to small local newspaper of my small town.
In 2017 I “may” glance at a headline or two if I’m passing a newsstand in a supermarket entry. Have not sat to read a paper in many years. I don’t think I’ve missed a whole lot.

They will continue with idiotic propaganda until they fold up and then bitterly blame the deplorables.

The conservative readership is not large enough to support the papers either.
