“260 daily papers in the United States...”
Wow. That is like owning 260 cats.
Newspapers are good for two things: comics and obituaries.
Coupons? I get them in the mail from the market.
Help Wanted Ads? Indeed dot com works best.
Sports? MLB dot com podcasts
The senior citizens in the my family read the newspaper every day and the stories they get excited to talk about are 24 hours old news. Today: “There was another shooting in Ohio.” That was news yesterday.
Sad. LA Times has excellent stories about Cardinal Mahoney’s crimes but no one reads the LA Times and Mahoney is walking around like nothing happened.
“Newspapers are good for two things: comics and obituaries.”
Three: Starting a fire
Four: Wrapping fish in it
How many more trees have to die?
The New York Times makes a excellent liner for my cats litter box.

Should be at least 3 years before the Chapter 11 gets filed.
Where I stay USA today is no longer provided
Guests read their phones or laptops.
Buggy whip makers consolidating. Bullish(it)!

“A newspaper is the absolute last place any of us would go for news. Like the evening news & Sunday talk shows, the model is dead.”
Even in the liberal bay area, in many of the newer developments the home owners don’t subscribe to bigger left wing fish wraps and even the local fish wraps.
The merchants and any surviving local fish wraps have a once a week free fish wrap which has local news, ads and zip/nada/zero political opeds or editorials.
That has been going on for at least a decade.
In the older and more established areas, again no newspapers delivered. People get their local and national news on line.
What is a newspaper?
I think this is terrible news.
Forget national politics, these local papers are how we've exposed corruption and kept our state and local governments somewhat honest.
Who's going to mind the store?
Lost 1800?
Replaced by at least 18,000 web sites.
And how many full time local reporters do those web sites have attending city council meetings and monitoring local political activity, etc?
Newspapers = yesterday’s news tomorrow!

If we re elect President Trump, he can Tweet the end of the left wing mediots that have worked 24/7 to destroy America since the early 1900’s.
What will replace the dinosaur left wing Fake News outlets?
We don’t know. Maybe some good business owners will buy what is left and have real news instead of Fake news.
“How many more trees have to die?”
Fake news kills more trees via wasted news prints in a day than forest fires do in a year. (Just a WA guess!)
