Well....since The Daily Oklahoman started basically featuring Parker every 3 or 4 days within the last 6 months or so. I quit buying it......

I suspect I'm not the only one.

And I say good riddance.....

[Rebel Wolf]

I will say she’s a HOTTIE but alas....No brain inside that pretty head. Maybe it’s good for something else ;)

As for newspapers.......As has been said why would I read something in them that I read on the internet when it was fresh.

Wait a minute.........Newspapers are good for one thing...

I do use them to line my birds cages. They are good for that......

[eyedigress]

with Parker asserting in the Post that conservatives who accuse the media of a liberal bias are "non-journalists" who stoking "ignorance," like Rush Limbaugh (not to mention groups like the Media Research Center.

FU Parker, get a job that does something productive.

[roses of sharon]

She is not just “wrong”, she is deliberately lying to her readers.

She has joined the long running political campaign against Conservatives.

No sense arguing her premise.

[freekitty]

Does anyone read anything this brainless wonder says?

[Seaplaner]

The biggest challenge facing America's struggling newspaper industry may not be the high cost of newsprint or lost ad revenue, but ignorance stoked by drive-by punditry.

"ignorance"?

Pray tell, Ms. Parker, of what hidden fairness of the newspaper industry are we unknowing?

That the media hounded Sarah Palin to the ends of Alaska, searching for merest tabloid scraps of was prima facie bias to any fair observer. You know full well that your precious "news"papers gave every invasive anti-Palin morsel front page ink that only the truly ignorant believe to be reserved for "news".

Simultaneusly, and to illustrate the reciprocal side, your sainted Marxist Obama was telling major league lies (forced to abandon public campaign financing because of Republican actions, "lost" senior thesis from Columbia)...palpable nonsense of course. Then, the same candidate who wants us conservatives to trust him, declines to reveal birth, school, and medical records. Any uneducated fool knows that all of these should be "red meat" for any, ANY journalist.

And, what appears on the front page of your precious newspapers, Kathleen ol' pretend-conservative friend? Barely a dismissive peep.

And you know it.

And you refer to me and my fellow conservatives as somehow ignorant, when it is you, and your fellow travelers among all of the media who are scrupulously selective over what is worthy news and over whom to promote and whom to ridicule.

You, Kathleen, have successfully lost any measure of suspect and trust you may have had. I hope you don't think it comes back if you write something nice about conservatives, including "ditto-heads" in the future.

It will not.

"suspect" = "respect".

Sheesh!

Jounalism curriculum is a lot like ethnic studies, which by the way is what Obama has in mind for inner city high schools. That’s what the mean when they talk about Blacks not learning the same way as whites. It is also how they intend to narrow the gap between whites and blacks.

Here premise is proof she has no grasp of the English language!

Very “hittable”.

Trouble is Kathy, that a lot of the people/groups that you love so much aren’t in the habit of:

1. Reading

2. Paying for things

How’s that workin’ for you?

[NoGrayZone]

"There is surely room for media criticism,"

Gee Kathleen, thanks for giving me permission to express my 1st amendment right. Where on earth would we be without you?

I call it "building the economy from the bottom up conundrum"

Good luck with that

[Who is John Galt?]

No sense arguing her premise.

Actually, I just enjoy highlighting the knee-pad media's hypocrisy (assuming they publish their faked photos/captions and lying editorials on purpose), or incompetence (assuming their incessant printing of such things is accidental).

Either way, they deserve a one-way trip down the drain...

;>)

[Principled]

Hit it?

nahhhhhhhh

[NoGrayZone]

"and performs the government watchdog role so crucial to a democratic republic."

If all of you were doing your job, as you state it, there would be NO problem. But the fact is, you weren't, therefore, we fired your butts.

p.s....we're not a "democratic republic", we're a free republic.

[tomkat]

We're not goin' away, ya silly cow

(and btw, your H₂O₂ is showin')

I just read that the Washington Post is downsizing by including its business coverage in section A. She's alienating the winners (online conservative media) and allying with the dying.
