I believe the subsidy will come in a form of a tax on the INTERNET, a tax that will be subject to state and local sales taxes so that all levels of government can put their hands in your money pocket.
ping.
Seems like the bi-blog does a lot of “gasping.”. Working there must be a trip.
Is it just me, or does the cliff coincide with Obama’s election?
The question is, will scarcity increase demand or will less people read it because they'll become accustomed to going online for obituaries and police reports.
Of course, grocery store coupons will keep the Sunday paper in play.

This surprises me not at all...
Well, this made my day.
I could have wrote and summed this all up into a few words: Survival of the fittest. =.=
The NJ paper (News Tribune, later TNT, now Home News Tribune) I grew up with is now about 20 pages total. About 2-3 pages of world news, 2-3 of local news, a couple of sports, obits (for which they now charge an exhorbitant fee), comics.
A far cry from the fat papers we used to get. Heck, we used to get them twice a day (morning & evening editions).
Now, meh.
the TV networks are the same way
Such promises if made would be very difficult to keep secret.
Those in the news industry do not need financial incentives to promote and protect Obama. These people are true believers in Leftist Socialist ideals not to mention racial preferences.
Those practicing journalism today are graduates of Liberal Arts colleges with the emphasis on LIBERAL. These people are the products of Liberal indoctrination whose goals are to change the world to better fit their Leftist ideals.
Yes these people want a paycheck but they chose their profession to accomplish a mission. That mission is a geo-political world in which their socialist ideals are realized; Obama more than any other President of the past embodies those ideals. They will fight for him; some of them may even consider dying for him.
They certainly have no trouble lying, cheating and stealing for him.
They might recover if they printed real honest fair news and kept opinions on the opinion page.
Two weeks ago I canceled my subscription to the Wall Street Journal...$455 a year is just too much for a paper that won’t vigorously defend capitalism in this age of Obamanomics.
If all the news commentary is going to be neo-soviet news commentary, like it is now, people are better off without it. One state controlled service could do the job of all the neo-soviet papers and the neo-soviet alphabets.
PSALM 37
12 The wicked plot against the righteous
and gnash their teeth at them;
13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
for he knows their day is coming.
14 The wicked draw the sword and bend the bow
to bring down the poor and needy,
to slay those whose ways are upright.
15 But their swords will pierce their own hearts,
and their bows will be broken.
16 Better the little that the righteous have
than the wealth of many wicked;
17 for the power of the wicked will be broken,
but the LORD upholds the righteous.
May it be soon, O Lord, may it be soon ... Amen
I cancelled my subscription to the local paper when they endorsed hussein in 2008 and I let them know the reason. Didn’t seem to matter much to them. They are still printing their liberal garbage. It’s amazing how entire industries are willing to write off potential profits from half the country for the sake of their liberal ideology and their “historic” _resident.
