Before TV, everyone read the newspaper faithfully.
Sounds like we might be in the 21st century.
“Before TV, everyone read the newspaper faithfully.”
It’s the internet that killed newspapers, not TV. I grew up with TV and I bought and read the newspaper every day. I know I was still doing it after 9/11/01.
Don’t really know when I stopped. But they a. got too expensive, b. they were always liberal rags, but what finished it off was c. the internet.
TV is much worse than newspapers for the public. Before TV people could choose to read in depth. Now they are spoon fed at most two paragraphs of a 10 paragraph news story on TV. They learn nothing and the bias seeps in more deeply, not to mention all the crappy ads. There are no good TV channels despite all the “competition” because they all have to answer to the advertisers.
