I guess the lefties can’t afford to by newspapers.
This is a perfect example of how the left would rather go down in flames rather than tell the truth.

[Jim Robinson]

Sheesh, the LA Times, Chicago Tribune and now the Washington Compost all going under. What ever shall we do.

Save a tree, read the Internet!

[skeeter]

Good. May Carl Bernstein eat his Thanksgiving dinner in a soup kitchen.

[Steely Tom]

Why not? State run media only needs to cover the central government. Nothing else is news anyway.

[pointsal]

So what... there is no news in Chicago, LA, or New York..... I learn everything that I need/what to know from DC.

It is a cost saving measure, they will just hire stringers, and watch out for those.

[Albion Wilde]

Ping!

If a newspaper closes and nobody notices....???

It's not so much the liberal bias that's killing newspapers, it's the mode of communication. Otherwise how can you explain the popularity of Politico, Huffington Post, and Daily Kos? Face it - these newspapers should have went completely online as early as 2005, when broadband and Youtube was beginning and then aggressively controlled their news where they could have prompted consumers to pay for a monthly subscription.

Personally, a media conglomerate such as Gannett should have went strictly online and then charged readers a monthly fee for ALL their publications, unlimited viewing. That's what I would have done had I been in the newspaper business, and even paid readers to submit breaking news stories.

Newspapers, in the literal dead tree edition sense, are totally obsolete.

Pray the NY Times follows soon?

I hope they don’t close down. I enjoy racing through their crossword puzzles every morning. And that’s all I care about the WaPo.

Washington Post closing all US bureaus outside DC The Washington Post is closing its last US bureaus outside the nation's capital as the money-losing newspaper retrenches to focus on politics and local news.

Now if only we could shut down the money losing capitol and untrench all the US bureaus from our daily lives........

You don’t have to be on site to produce predictable left wing propaganda. You can just sit in Washington and make the crap up. It’s not as if they actually went out and asked questions and reported the answers.

Elite a$$hole journos are now getting their just rewards.

I cannot remember the last time I read the paper front to back.

Heck, most of the time the free USA Today from the hotel gets carried back home unread!
