LOL. It's been a slaughter. There's blood all over the floor. And I continue to shake my head. It did not have to be this way. I would not have given up newpapers altogether (I actually enjoyed sitting down with a paper and a cup of coffee), but when you realize you are not getting news, just the point of view of one spectrum of society (and it isn't yours), that you are being actually lied to by way of slant, distortion and failure to report what does not fit where they want to lead you, you just don't bother with them.
I also used to really enjoy reading the local paper on Sunday morning with my coffee. I looked forward to it. But about two years ago I finally had enough with "all the socialism that's fit to print" and cancelled it. They've begged me to resubscribe, and I've told them exactly why I won't, but they can't seem to get it through their thick heads that it's the bias, stupid.
If there were alternative unbiased newspapers I'd subscribe in an instant.
FWIW, the only papers that I read lately are the free ones available laying around coffee shops. The news stories are hopelessly slanted like the pay ones, but they fill the time while watching the scenery.
I agree. I'm sure the media will cast this as an unfortunate circumstance caused by the internet - whereas the reality is that they've turned off half of their customer base by being blatant DNC activists (with an extra touch of anti-Americanism mixed in to boot). Pity. There's a market out there for unbiased news reporting (and frankly -- a little rooting for the home team wouldn't hurt either)...
