Gondring, can you give us an example of a “conservative” daily that you think is doing poorly? I’m curious as to what you think such a publication is. When it comes to daily news, Fox News is doing quite well where CNN, MSNBC, CNBC and others are nosediving. For those opining on news daily, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity and many others who are considered by most to have a conservative take on the news of the day are also doing very well.
America is going for illiteracy...
Are you equating not reading Time magazine to desiring to be illiterate, or are you just assuming that because liberal publications are losing their readership that this must mean people are somehow becoming more illiterate?
It's difficult to find ones that haven't already gone under, isn't it? The Bulletin of Philadelphia is no longer daily, but I believe it has started up print again on a weekly basis.

Exactly. As I pointed out, the problem isn't ideology, but illiteracy. More and more people are getting "news" from Jon Stewart and Hollywood, and they are getting only a shallow view. The shift from print to these forms has helped liberalism, despite the glee felt over the demise of liberal publications. Many conservatives are gloating over battles won whilst the war is being lost.

No.
I, along with other smart folks like Rush, know better than to invest in Americans' literacy. If I'm wrong, you should be able to make a killing by investing in conservative print news. Personally, I recognized the trend 20 years ago, and I proposed online publication in the early 90s and got out of print news totally more than a decade ago.
