Well, if a picture's worth a thousand words; highlighting stock prices of three of their benefactors, nyt, Chicago Trib, and the compost:
The stock prices generally mirror the bottom lines of these seditious rags. IOW, the fishwraps are seeing their margins decreasing almost daily. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of Bolsheviks!
Ahem:
Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright.
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light.
And, somewhere men are laughing, and little children shout,
but there is no joy in Pressville - the mighty MSM has struck out.
Thankyew, thankyew ver much... ;^)
Thanks.
I knew the "major" dailies have been taking a header for some time; but, the AQ is an entity unto itself too, y'know.
The AQs supply news to *everyone* in the news reporting "business", not just the print media.
When you tell me the AQ has a cash flow problem I'm thinking total cash flow from all their sources.
Methinks the AQ monster has known the print media was dead long before it dawned on you & I.
That'd be the only explanation as to why the AQ's sacrificing 'em while pushing the socialist dreck they above all others realize no ones buying.
While thanks their other income streams -- Internet, television etc -- AQ as a whole is probably doing "OK".
...& fiscally solid. ;^)
