The gloating here on FR is disgusting.
I thought we celebrate the Bill of Rights — right to bear arms and all that?
A free press is in the Bill of Rights, too, folks. The Founders recognized and protected its worth. With the direction this government is headed now, you may find out the hard way how much you need it.
Newspapers are a victim of the same principle that reduced the demand for carbon paper and saddlery. Don’t pat yourselves on the back thinking that right-wingers put newspapers out of business.
Every time a print publication closes its doors, we lose an outlet to criticize and keep government in check. They did it (to howls of dismay from the left) to Bill & Monica, and those that remain will hound the big O.
Sad day for Colorado. Let’s hope the Chicago presses keep running, because we need them.
The newspapers in this country are (in large part) a cheering section for the most liberal ideas. They do not report the news anymore, they issue propaganda statements for the democrapic party.
The internet and talk radio are both interactive sources of government criticism. The only time most of the newspapers criticize the government is when there is a Christian or heterosexual, or capitalist or anti-muslim, or white male, pro 2nd amendment, etc. Get the point. I never thought that only right wingers brought these newspapers down.
