That's what we've been saying for years every time we see a paper go down in flames. Not specifically Beck or Rush doing it but not one has ever tried to go conservative as a solution to save themselves. Numbers that prove over and over that Fox News smokes it competition shows it can work.

For me, Buffett showed his country cousin routine to be a fraud when he invested in Goldman Sachs just before it was bailed out by TARP and the FED.Very well could have a 'newspaper bailout' coming up.
