I actually don’t buy the whole Internet schtick. Which is what liberals love anyway as they try to tell us it’s the clean way…but it is also easy to monitor for Big Brother.
Real paper is where it is at. A small screen where you have to scroll forever or click to the next, or see pop-up ads everywhere, is just annoying and not easy to get through or even skip to different things, esp. if you know where stuff was. I deal in textbooks and the real thing is so much better and more convenient than cyberspace.
My problems with newspaper is that almost all of them are commie rags, certainly in our region. So no point buying it.
The Epoch Times is anti-commie.

I hear what you're saying, OlLine Rebel.
Getting a quality newspaper, magazine or textbook in your hands is a wonderful the way to learn and engage the brain. Though the interactive nature of Free Republic and intelligence of FReepers is an internet exception.
Before it was bought by the Chinese and became mostly "woke", I subscribed to Fortune Magazine and used to get a lot of professional perspective on the high tech business there. Now, I guess, only Forbes survives as a solid national business magazine.
Recently moved to a mid-sized city north of Tokyo and pleased to see that magazine reading is alive and well here. At the local city bookstore, it's surprising to see all the special interest magazines being sold on the shelf. My guess is the amount of shelf space devoted to magazines is at least 5 times more than you see in America.
It's an oddity I want to explore a bit more.
