IMHO I think the newspapers are suffering now because their content stunk. The writers in most cases knew less than I do, so why read them. They know nothing about firearms, hunting, the military, and American history. They also added their own egotistical spin to the stories which they did report on. And quite frankly, I didn’t want to read it.
Another interesting item is what I call “Yesterday’s news today” in that what I read on the FR showed up (word for word) in the paper next day.
