Just the fact we’re talking about this on the Free Republic web site explains why newspapers are dying: they can’t keep up with the news cycle. And has gotten worse with the rise of social media on cellphones.

Just the fact we’re talking about this on the Free Republic web site explains why newspapers are dying: they can’t keep up with the news cycle.

I picked up a friend's mail the other day. The newspaper was in the box. It was basically a pamphlet and cost multiples of the price it was when I delivered it as a kid.

I perused it as I walked the driveway. The "news" wasn't new (I had read it all online the day before and in some cases days before), and had no depth. Most of the "stories" reeked of the liberal AP or were essentially made up of press releases or official statements.

In a short time I believe they will be gone in print form.
