The amazing thing is, and the author who seems like an intelligent person, that he really doesn’t get the picture at all. All the reasons which he states do not get to the fact that most newspapers do not print news, but propaganda for the liberals in power and spew hate if a perceived conservative is in power. They have many of the characteristics of the controlled former Soviet Union press (Pravda and Izvestiya) and the current Arab presses. The TV networks are not any better.
And he has the gall to ask for tax support. I am postulating that something different will arise from the ashes of large urban dailies in a decade or so.
“....propaganda for the liberals in power and spew hate if a perceived conservative is in power.”
Excellent point, and they turn on a dime when their side wins or loses.
