Why I find Kurtz column offensive:
1) Kurtz works for a company that produces a product. Consumers don’t want to buy that product anymore because it can’t compete. It’s called capitalism. Get over it.

2) Don’t bury the lede???!?! Are you kidding me, the WP is the king of burying the lede when it suits them. But now Kurtz is sad, so it MUST BE THE MOST IMPORTANT NEWS ON THE PLANET! (jerk)

3) So newspapers are dying, huh? How many jobs and businesses has the Post been instrumental in killing over the years? Sorry, I don’t feel your pain.

4) Kurtz thinks we’re spending our time playing video games? Video GAMES?!?! This man is seriously out of touch.

5) “Newspapers Matter!!!” Nonsense. What a silly narcisistic thing to say. Look Kurtz, if you produced a product that “matters” you wouldn’t be going out of business and all those fine people would have no problem making a living. I’m sorry to tell you this, but the Post doesn’t get to decide anymore what matters.
