Aint it great to watch the print media die?
The Collins Report ^ | December 12th, 2008 | Kevin “Coach” Collins

I wasn’t alive in 1945 when the news came that Adolph Hitler went room temperature, but I know there was great joy across America when we heard it. Hitler was an enemy. Joy was a fitting response to his death.

Ordinarily the death of anyone should be sad news, but a particularly vicious enemy’s death is cause for an exception. The impending death of the print media in America is such an exception. The media’s allegiance to itself instead of the truth or - God forbid- America is very clear.

During the Civil War General William Sherman complained, ”I hate newspapermen…. I regard them as spies….”

In World War II the Baltimore Sun revealed the Navy had cracked the Japanese Navy’s code which put us all in danger.

In 1968 in spite of our major military and psychological victory over the Viet Cong at the Tet Offensive, Walter Cronkite proclaimed “We have lost the war.” His traitorous lie cost thousands of American lives.

Remember that skunk Bernard Shaw’s refusal to be debriefed because he “didn’t want to take sides” during the First Gulf War?

The media stabbed us in the back by doing no examinations of Barack Obama. They lied and hid what they knew and never asked Obama a hard question. They are now, but so what; the damage is done.

Now the news is the print side of America’s media is dying. Is this cause for celebration? You’re damned straight it is! Their lies and traitorous conduct earns them no sympathy.

If without being forced into it, they had occasionally told the truth about crooked Democrats instead of being their PR arm, maybe they wouldn’t be dying, but they never did. Bye bye fellas: don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!

Kudos! A perfect response.

God forbid we experience a regional/national blackout...we would go primitive in less than 30 days.

They’ll shrink of course. But there will always be a New York Times...even if they move to a much small building. ;^)

And if the above happens, the newspaper will cost you 5 bucks a copy. If you can find one.
