“Maybe printed newspapers will be obsolete.”
Given that they don’t really provide “the news,” I’d say it’s a good move because is spares our forests. Now, if we could only get rid of all the newsprint weekly adverts. The only good news in our neighborhood is that they show up the night before our recycled stuff is picked up, so I walk from the mailbox to the recycle bin and the $hit never gets through my front door. I don’t think being in the newsprint business is going to be a long-term winner for employment either. All the news I need is in FR anyway.
I hear you. I get a lot of news from Free Republican also.
And I appreciate our wide open comments here, as I note more and more news sites are doing away with comments sections.
