Liberal bias is closing liberal newspapers quicker and in greater numbers than conservative papers.

You are free to believe that, but to convince me, I'm going to have to request a citation on that. Let's see... Cincy had conservative and liberal papers...now it's just the liberal one. Has The Bulletin in Philadelphia taken off? If it's such a gold mine opportunity, are you investing in starting up conservative papers?

The attitude of the journalist to the Utah mine owner was a good example, the first questions out of the box was why he was still mining for coal when it ways so dangerous, never mind that 50% of our electricity is coal generated.

Every question is an opportunity for an answer. Was a good answer given? Do you prefer the journalist not to ask questions?

At least partially be cause some journalist refuse to acquire knowledge about something they loathe. i.e. the military or firearms.

Every one of my editorial board members was a shooter, and some carried concealed. Lovely generalizations you make...would you like a job in journalism? ;-)

In general, my experience has shown that conservatives love to talk a big game about how they'd buy an unbiased paper, but when it comes down to it, they want to watch Paris Hilton, Natalee Holloway, etc., instead, just as much as libs do.

And your accusing me of generalising. Conservatives are sure watching what they perceive to be unbiased newscasts and are listening to conservative radio in droves. As to the loss of conservative newspapers, here in Dallas the Dallas Morning news was the conservative paper and The Dallas Times Herald was the liberal. The Dallas Morning News bought out the Times Herald and within three years went liberal and now is losing readers left and right. Even with that I still have a subscription.
