All of which makes me feel good!
But if newspapers disappear, what will we wrap fish in?
We'll fight these radical, right wing, fasicst bloggers. If it's the last thing we do. :)
Denote sarcasm. Great post.
They're doing it to themselves. They're so busy pursuing their agenda they don't even realize they are committing suicide.
Good news...I never trust the reporting in my morning paper. Haven't for years.
newspapers better learn to switch to digital news delivery as primary method quick
Were the printed media to choose to report the facts
instead of interpretations of their warped perspective
They still might survive this paradigm shift
I would consider the rise in TV news to be troubling, especially considering that more than three-fourths of Americans say that's a primary news source. Internet news influence may be growing, but it'll be a looooooooooong time before it ever reaches that kind of influence, if ever.
The real story here is the continued growth and dominance of TV.
By the time the papers are available, I've already read most of their content on the web. Sometimes by 2 or 3 days.
It also helps keep the blood pressure down, not having to filter through the Liberal chaff and opinionated news stories.
I used to take 3 newspapers, now I only get 1 Sunday rag for the coupons and sale fliers.
New York Times man on the street Greg Packer says "I don't know why you distrust the fine reporting of men like Jayson Blair?"
Doesn't paper always spiral down, after it's flushed?
The growth that you see is almost certainly Fox News.
I dropped mine about a year ago. Buying a newspaper in my town is just another donation to the Democratic party.
Declining newspaper readership ping.
In 1996, there were three newspapers coming to my household. Today, there are none.
