Bottom line, why buy some lib rag for news when all the news in the world is available on the internet. Not to mention you don’t have to support lib editorial writers.

Some papers have set up pay walls on the internet so you have to pay to read their news online . but so much on the internet is free, is it really worth it to pay to read online???

Like William Randolph Heast, I believe I could run a newspaper and make it a hit. How you ask? I will give you a list: 1. Newspapers are NOT a trust—they are a business and one that needs to give people what they want. people don’t want to be force fed a diet of “What they need to believe and know” Watch what happens to Tomorrowland Movie that preaches Global Warming—it will fail even with all the special effects in the world. Give people what they want! A Conservative paper—Look at Fox News—why are they so popular? 2. Why buy a paper for 2 bucks when all the same stuff is on the net? Newspapers must have things that can only be seen IN THE PAPER! They need celebrity Reporters who get the scoops—and if tiy want to read what they have found—you got to buy the paper. 3. All real news is Local! Cut the boilerplate from the AP—go after local stories—local corruption, local events and happening—or how locals look at international events. 4. Cut the huge number of advertizements—would you watch a TV show that was 50% commercials? No! Why put up with this from the papers! 5. Put new things in—why not have a page writen by the DNC? (as if most isn’t) but with it a page from the RNC—heck have a page from the Communist Party, the Nazis, the Libertarians—posted as such.
6. Stop with the Peanuts cartoons—they are dated—get new cartoons—what happened to Flash Gordon? Dick Tracy? mary Worth?— No politics in the cartoons! Or if they are they should be parodies. Al Capp was good at that. 7. Newspapers can be made to pay—but they must give the masses what they want and need—not Preaching some political gospel.

“why buy some lib rag for news when all the news in the world is available on the internet”

Indeed. Why pay to have lies delivered to your doorstep when you can get all the lies you want for free on the Internet.
