“Ain’t it great to watch the print media die?”

Not at all.
For one thing, it’s a vital part of democracy.
For another, I never cheer when fellow citizens loose their jobs.

Exactly. Along with the print media, quality of your news is dying. Now any schmuck with a cell phone camera is an “iReporter” on CNN. More and more papers are outsourcing to the Associated Press which often misreports simple facts in their articles. (Think Who, What, When, Where, Why. The basics)

With this apparently much celebrated death of liberal editors and columnists go the moderate, fair, and even conservative newswriters who, believe it or not, actually occupy newsrooms across the country. This is nothing to celebrated.

So you think of 'journalists' as "fellow citizens"?

They aren’t losing their jobs, they are giving them away.

A FREE press is. A commie press is NOT!
