Buggy whip media BUMP.

Hard to believe there is still daily private delivery of newspapers when milkmen and doctors gave up house visits long ago.

And when they do bring that newspaper to your door, it contains stories that are 8-36 hours old. "Leading information source"? Please, I wasn't born yesterday.

The stories might have a lag time over television and other media, but a good local paper can provide details and breadth of coverage that is relevant in a way national media can't. That's why I make it a point to support good local newspapers, which often are more fair than the national media or larger papers.

Disclosure: I used to be the editor of a local newspaper. (See, we ain't all bad guys! BTW, I know there are other FReepers who are also editors, and I know they'd love your support in staving off the larger, liberal papers!) :-)
