If it were merely the political slant, then a wise investor could make a killing...but note that even when directly suggested and challenged to do this, Rush Limbaugh has declined (e.g., on Nov 19). Wise investors know that America is becoming more illiterate.

Note that The Bulletin had to cease its daily printing in Philly. Note that The Rocky Mtn. News went before The Denver Post. Note that The Washington Times fell by greater percentage than The Washington Post. Note which papers died in Cincy and Houston. Et cetera.

Conservatism or balanced doesn't sell any better than liberalism. America is going for illiteracy and "news nuggets."

Conservatism or balanced doesn’t sell any better than liberalism.

Gondring, can you give us an example of a “conservative” daily that you think is doing poorly? I’m curious as to what you think such a publication is. When it comes to daily news, Fox News is doing quite well where CNN, MSNBC, CNBC and others are nosediving. For those opining on news daily, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity and many others who are considered by most to have a conservative take on the news of the day are also doing very well.

America is going for illiteracy...

Are you equating not reading Time magazine to desiring to be illiterate, or are you just assuming that because liberal publications are losing their readership that this must mean people are somehow becoming more illiterate?
