They are obsoleteing themselves, and right quickly too.

Lol. Thanks for the grin. (^:

I did read a fine AP human interest story last night about two New Jersey Soldiers who just returned from Iraq, were quoted supporting the war. So, perhaps another hopeful sign of 'regime change' in the mainstream press - AP hiring reporters who can tell the difference between ally and enemy.

The big city newspapers are turning themselves into small city newspapers. The network news shows are already dead -- watching Rather or Jennings or Brokaw or 60 Senile Minutes is like attending a wake for some distant relative you never quite liked.. Readership is disappearing. Marketeers don't know what to do, they are fishing around for what will work.

Nothing will ever again be like the highly leveraged value of an ad in a big city newspaper of yesteryear, or of big 3 network commercials in the news hours and prime time. The super huge cohesive ad markets are gone.

No more tide of sheeple eating every morsel the communists and nanny-statists like Cronkite served up, and those morsels only.
