Oh, I don't know about that. There is something missing sitting on the patio in the morning sipping your steaming cup of coffee and reading the laptop. Or sprawled out in bed on Sunday morning trying to share the laptop with your spouse because he wants to read the sports section and you want to read the editorials.
Frankly, I miss that, but I don't miss it enough to read the crap they print today.
Besides, if we won't read their tripe on newsprint, what makes them think we'll read their tripe on-line?
I'll agree, reading your laptop is not quite comfortable, but it's only a matter of time before there is a reader-friendly way to peruse news, books, and any other form of printed information. It might be as simple as a sheet that constantly can be updated with streaming information. The "newspapers" of the "Minority Report" movie are not nearly as far fetched as the cars that drove up the sides of buildings in that film.
Yes, drivel is drivel, no matter how delivered. In any case, the centuries old model of the newspaper is all but dead and buried. My great-grandchildren may never see one outside of a museum, or an old trunk in the attic. If liberal claptrap accelerates this process, all the better.
