Is the Houston Chronicle the usual dying leftist rag? I have no idea of its politics.
Allow me to quote Dr. Raoul: BIAS = LAYOFFS. And the Houston Chronicle is one of the very worst when it comes to bias. They aren’t even original or clever about it, but practice “me too” journalism, slavishly following the Wash Post and NYT. These reporters and editors are getting what they so richly deserve. I hope the Chron goes down in big, roaring flames.
Many people have stopped reading newspapers because of the inherent left-wing bias that is constantly shown in many, many newspapers. People want to be educated about both sides of the issue, not preached to. As Roger Ailes said to journalists..”If there isn’t anything in your piece that you disagree with, it’s probably biased”.
I see many, many one-sided pieces of journalism. Why is that? As Bill O’Neil of Investors Business Daily speculates, they probably learned that bias in journalism schools.
What this country needs is a national newspaper called “Both sides now”, (remember Murrow?) and have a two-sided, completely unbiased newspaper that can educate us on the issues
This is really serious — if Pravda on the Bayou goes belly-up, what would little puppy dogs piddle on?
You know, it’s awfully hard to cut ten percent of just one person.
I sure hope it gets that bad there soon.
It amazes me that, on a forum supposedly dedicated to conservative constitutional principles, people would celebrate hardship in one of the founding principles: a free press.
You are mistaken in thinking that newspapers are in financial trouble because they print things we don’t agree with.
They’re in trouble for the same reason the saddlery business was in trouble in 1910: technology. The horseless carriage lessened the need for saddles. The internet has changed the way we get news.
Especially today, with a socialist in the White House, we need a financially healthy print media to watch and criticize, just as we have seen done in all prior administrations.
A thriving press is in our best interest. We will NOT be better off without print media.
Think about it.
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch!
