I have a dream, a fantasy perhaps, that conservatives could start newspapers in cities where a liberal paper has a current monopoly. That's the vast majority of American cities today.

No individual could do it. A corporation, or private foundation would have to put up several hundred million dollars in start up costs.

But newspaper readership is down, which is one reason why most cities only have one daily newspaper. Maybe that's because people don't like what they read in newspapers and need an alternative. Maybe it's because newspapers are going extinct altogether in the next 100 years as information is delivered in other ways.

I don't know, but it's still a dream.

I stopped buying (subscribing to) the Dallas Morning News.

1. I'm allergic to printers ink (a common allergy).
2. I got SICK of the price hikes since the Times Herald went under.
3. Why buy it when I can get it FREE on the Internet?

My daughter recounted the same dream to me the other day when we were both bemoaning the liberal slant of the DMN.

She mentioned that conservative radio shows are very popular as is Fox News and we both felt that there is room for a conservative newspaper. If we had another paper in Dallas, I would drop the DMN like a hot potatoe (little unfair Quale lingo).
