The US needs some reporters. Send the “journalists” off to blogging land with the rest of us.

Who cares what this Vichy Republican is saying?

She is certainly not offering any constructive advice and she certainly is not down for our struggle.

With “conservatives” like Kathleen, who needs DemocRATS?

She couldn’t recognize ‘bias’ if you tatooed it on her forehead and gave her a mirror.

My goodness, I haven’t even been near a newspaper in years! How can I destroy something I don’t even use? ;^)

She’s just trying to be like her hero, Arianna Huffington.

No - it’s liberals and Democrats that are doing it by not subscribing and those evil corrupt corporations by not advertising ....

She’s obviously an idiot.

It’s called supply and demand.

Rush and Levin’s ratings are way, way up, because people want to hear what they have to say.

Newspaper circulation is way down because people are no longer interested in reading DNC propaganda.

I would hope that as more and more of the MSM loses their jobs that maybe they will begin to wake up and start to take Obambi to task finally!

Obviously do not blame the newspapers for their problems. Blame someone else. Who better to accuse than the right wingers? We are the reason for all the ills in the country.

the truth is, newspapers destroyed themselves.

beginning after ww2 and climaxing in the 80’s family newspapers across the nation were bought by corporations.

these corporations turned the newsrooms over to college educated, j-school grads, all leftists.

meanwhile, new technologies have grabbed the attention of younger people. they avoid newspapers.

Sounds like we got the old Gray Lady on the run. Good.

She misunderstands the idea of “elite media.” The issue is that the MSM considers the conveyance of news and information to be their sole purview and that their editors are the final word in what constitutes “truth”. The “elite” media see THEMSELVES that way, and it has nothing to do with paychecks.

El Rushbo is mi amigo. At least Kathleen didn’t take a cheap shot at Rush’s size or pain killers history.

There is this conceit among journalists that they are “professionals” in the same sense as doctors and lawyers, i.e., highly-trained specialists who require years of pst-graduate education. This is, of course, false. The typical professional journalist is no better educated, no more “professional,” than the typical Internet blogger.

To see thst liberal bias is not some right-wing phantasm, she should read Bernard Goldberg’s “A Slobbering Love Affair,” in which he lets fawning, pro-Obama journalists damn themselves with their own words. Or she should read “Red Hot Lies,” which documents media complicity in the distortions and exaggerations of global warming “science.”

Or maybe she should read her own column of a few days ago in which she chastized Obama and the media for falsehoods and errors of ommission in the stem cell debate.

She has been straddling the fence for a while but has now gone comletely over to the Dark Side.

It is obvious she has contracted the dreaded "McCain Syndrome".
That affliction causes you try to make friends with your enemies by making enemies of your friends.
It didn't work for McCain either.
