I would take your idea one step further. I can't remember the last time I dropped 50 cents for one of my local rags. I gave up my subscription at least 5 to 6 years ago when I got sick of the left rhetoric. I do noticed that most the hotel chains have a free paper for you in the morning by your door. A lot of the time a USA today. Then I thought about it. I'm willing to bet that at least a third or maybe even half of the MSM's papers subscriptions are corporate type subscriptions that these companies buy to provide their customers for reading. Waiting rooms, hotel chains, etc. The fact may be they have even less dedicated subscribers then they think. Just because a major hotel chain provides daily editions of your paper doesn't mean you actually have a popular product. When I get my USA Today when traveling I just leave it on the floor and walk on it as I'm walking out the door. That's about all it's worth. The Internet is the new mass media. I can read several articles on one topic from various sources and make my own opinion.

Don't forget all of the schools and libraries that "institutionalize" their version of modern history.

And FYI, USA Ptooey doesn't even permit excerpting of their articles on FR. What are they afraid of? Feedback and examination of their "news"?
