“bulwark of democracy” my a**; they’ve been the bulwark of Eurosocialism, the party elite believing they are the “vanguard of the masses” in the Leninist concept they love so well. It has utterly escaped them that they have no connection with the actual masses and haven’t had for years, like one of those 1930’s communist cells at a leading university with a single member who was their actual “working man.”

“Cronkite School of Journalism”
Is that satire?
That’s like Ted Kennedy school of driving,
or the Abramoff school of ethics.

You can make comments there.
“Newspapers are dying for two reasons: One, the internet is a better delivery system than the printed page. And second, because today’s product absolutely sucks.”
BEST COMMENT.
No, the media is not a ‘bulwark of democracy’, but rather shills for their favored politicians/point-of-view and attack dogs against those they disfavor. In the past, newspapers were partisan and open about it. Today, the liberal MSM is partisan by dishonest and hypocritical about their own abject bias.
Want to win back half the audience you lost? End the liberal bias.

From the article: “What we have to keep in mind is that true journalism is the closest thing most adults have to formal continuing education. Each newsroom that goes dark, then, amounts to another school closing.”
What an absolutely fatuous and typically condescending remark from yet another puffed-up hack who thinks "newsrooms" are are essential to human understanding.
Why would anyone wanting to "continue their education" want to waste their time sifting through the tripe that comes out of the vast majority of what are mistakenly referred to as "newsrooms?"

The market is responding! To paraphrase Trotsky, the people are voting with their feet!
