You know...the more and more I read about the dinosaur media(print, hard copy media) and the “new media” and how easy, fast, efficiently things can be made to disappear makes me wonder if the crushing blow to the dinosaur media is such a good thing? Now articles, videos, and even facts can be removed, scrubbed away, taken down and worse still edited on-line.

If we lose print media are we really losing ‘freedom of the press?’ Sure the liberal journalists have really screwed up their papers, sold their souls in some cases to the speed of the news-cycle, and forgone truth & accuracy to be the first to report in competition with the ‘new media.’

Perhaps though some consumers might find it refreshing to return to a ‘fact based newspaper.’ A paper that is a little slower, but ...more accurate, more truthful, and able to print an appropriate retraction if/when needed.

When was that ever the case? This sepia-tinged nostalgia of "accurate, truthful" news I suggest was always a fable. We now have the internet to expose the lies put out by the Drive-Bys.

I have never read an article in a newspaper reporting on a topic of which I have first hand information, that has not included at least one factual error. Just because a paper/dead tree can be saved in a drawer does not mean that what was printed was any more true, than “news” that is on the internet.
