So you think of 'journalists' as "fellow citizens"?
“I never cheer when fellow citizens loose their jobs”
They aren’t losing their jobs, they are giving them away.
IF some brave, moral soul started publishing a fair and balanced newspaper, could it survive?
Maybe the liberal biggies should save their lives by trying “fair and balanced.” It might be their only salvation.
(Then, again...who cares?)
“So you think of ‘journalists’ as “fellow citizens”?
Yes. Because they are.
As are the press men, photographers, secretaries, truck drivers, janitors, ....
t would be nice to see the recession hit all professional sports with their over-priced lowlifes.
A FREE press is. A commie press is NOT!
If the bailouts continue,
I guarantee the Democrat supporting media will be on the list.
The democrats would like nothing more than to have an actual (they already have de facto) controlling interest in all major media.
True.
Your point being...?
That I cheer them going out of business and don’t care about those that chose to work for evil are out of work.
Maybe now they can get jobs with an honest company.
The current media and abortion clinics are very similar places to work. I could not work for either.
A bit pompous today?
What’s a print media? Never heard of ‘em...
********************************************
Thats that ancient stuff they physically print on dead trees and distribute by smelly diesel trucks and inefficient gasoline vans ,,, you know “Yesterdays news Tomorrow!” except that there is nothing of value inside , just RAT propaganda and coupons for your grocery store ... heck ,, even the adverts for auto dealers (push pull or drag it in we’ll give you $3,000.00 for ANY trade!) have more truth than the news on the front page...
There was a time when the print media used to be dignified and truthful. Now they are just a bunch of rags so as for me and mine... “We are lovin’ every minute of it when we hear another one has gone south.”
no more than usual. ;-)

All the MSM should die...
I was talking about this with some friends the other day. The internet has killed newspapers, but it's not because of biased reporting, or only incidentally because of that. It's because all those things you NEEDED a paper for you don't need it for anymore. Who looks up movie show times in the paper anymore? Weather? The latest sports scores? Stocks? All internet now. Major newspapers as we know them had a good run--120 years or so. But now their time has passed. Interestingly, blogs seem a fair analogy for what newspapers were before that period--idiosyncratic, partisan, etc.
When one of my friends objected to this analysis, I said, "Yeah, I still miss the town crier, too"
