My BIL has worked for a medium-sized newspaper for many years. Yesterday he said (and he was sober at the time) that investing in newsprint paper manufacturers was a very poor long-term investment. According to him (and to many others here and elsewhere) newspapers are a dying breed.
I bring this up to point out that the only papers that will survive the internet will be the tabloids and with stories such as have been carried lately by the various "Times" organizations, it's obvious they are trying to get a head-start on survival.

May I ask you just one thing? Where did you see me mention newspapers in my post?

The old media is much, much more than the slimy newspapers. And they still rule the opinions of the ignorant and less-than-well-informed voters/citizens.

The papers are dying, of course they are, now work on the hard cover magazines, the entire publishing industry, the entertainment business, the advertising industry, the public schools, which really are an arm of liberal media, etc., etc.

Here's hoping you had a great Thanksgiving.
