I wonder if the two deaths are related...
When the print media carried the banner for WJC in 1992 I unsubscribed from the the local rag and have not been a subscriber since. To say I despise these traitors is an understatement.
I can’t understand what makes a paper, such as the New York Times for example, so blatantly biased towards democrats. Both of this country’s major political parties are HIGHLY FLAWED. To assert that one party is so clearly better for the other is silly, they are both bad for us, but yet they promote one over the other as if it is good versus evil to them. One need only look to Chicago to see that the party of the main stream press is as corrupt as it can be, and it clearly does not deserve the fawning coverage that it routinely receives.
Yesterday I noticed that USA today was now$1.00. Didn’t get it. Rochester’s daily is .75,Buffalos will follow soon.
Who needs any of them.
I think they are. It is all about the worship of the glories and consequences of expanding and exploding credit. It is the same lack of critical analysis that lead both to their demise.
I mourn the passing of print media with savvy editors who had a taste for what mattered and a tenacity to stay on important stories.
The editorial function in the flow of information is absolutely essential. Open access to all the nonsense that goes around is no access at all to what matters.
