The media has only themselves to blame for their situation.
They chose to stop reporting the news impartially.
Let ‘em wither on the vine!
And could I get a large Coke? Light ice.
What Jonathan wants to say is that there is no other way defeat neocons “except by deep-pocketed traditional media organizations employing professional journalists”.
Ah, the dark, evil Internet... look out!
Jonathan Kay, listen my canuck "friend"... as long as you write columns like this: Bring Khadr Home, there will be a need for an alternative to your leftist drivel.
When I first arrived in Newport News we had two good daily newspapers - the Daily Press for mornings and the Times Herald for afternoon.
The Chicago Tribune bought the Daily Press and soon after bought the Times Herald. They became known locally as the Morning Mistake and the Afternoon Correction. The Times Herald was shut down and published its last edition in 1991. The Daily Press launched a drive to educate us poor dumb Southern Rednecks. They had to teach us that President Bush was evil and that only the Democratic Party could save the nation. We had to learn that firearms were evil and only police officers should be armed. Southern Tradition was evil and backward and only Yankees were civilized.
I cancelled my subscription. Today, with subscriptions still dropping theyre still trying to educate us.
Senator Craig's foot taps - HUGE STORY!
John Edwards concubine - *crickets*
Either report both stories equally or ignore them both equally Mr Kay.
The print media leaders, The N.Y. Times, L.A. Times, Washington Post have for years bent the truth or outright lied to meet their ideals.
We don’t want to be lead by these papers, we just want the news truthfully presented. These papers refuse to do so. They constantly are found to have made up stories completely or lied in others. They keep these unethical practices up, they deserve to be driven out of business.
Hell the N.Y.Times alone has lost 60 percent of its value in the last 18 months. A rather nice beginning if ya ask me.
Have it your way.
When one can’t discuss their own attributes, they instead bash their competitors.
This guy HAS to be a troll. How the hell else could he write:
“Not to be old-fashioned, but there are certain kinds of important stories that simply cannot be covered, except by deep-pocketed traditional media organizations employing professional journalists.”
..And then proceed to get his facts all messed up in the article?
lol
This guy sounds like one of those who commit suicide and leave a note telling the rest of us we’ll be sorry he’s gone.
Count me out.
No more Maureen Dowd, how could I live with myself?
OK maybe. Go away and give me about 20 years for it to sink in and I will let you know by then whether I miss you or not, deal?
“But I have a more noble reason, too: a genuine, altruistic desire for an educated citizenry. “
Seems to me, we’re sick of the lop-sided “education” we’ve been “receiving”. McDonald’s is a better employment opportunity choice for you. You can then go out and discover what trying to make a living is REALLY like.
And now the author of this column sits back and awaits the fury aroused among the true believers. Sounds like he fits his own definition.
Jonathan,
Sorry, but I haven’t read a hardcopy newspaper since 1990. The web is just fine and in the past 10 years it is even better with the advent of bloggers and easy access to conservative sites.
Miss you?.....all I need to do is go to DU and/or KOS to find out what I’m missing.....now if you did your jobs professionally and unbiased I might have a different opinion....
