Nobody advertises in newspapers anymore. Set aside the raft of shiney pulp on Sunday, and look at a daily paper's classifieds. Nothing much there.

Good riddance.

When will the "paper of record" be no more?

That's what I'm waiting for.

Hey MSM, you made your choice of ideology quite a while back. Live with it, and choke on it.

Nobody needs to read your left-wing crap anymore. Too much real, balanced news and information not only from U.S. sources, but foreign sources as well.

We are keeping an eye on the internet — for Obama to make his FCC grab on information flow there. Just pray he does not get a second term.

Ah. But the question is - did they surge unexpectedly?

Newspaper job cuts surged 30% in 2011

Finally, some good news.

If we can just prevent Zer0 and the Rats from giving 'em the government subsidies that they been whining for until we get a Republican Congress and President, Maybe they'll go bankrupt.

Not good news if you are in favor of keeping government in check.

I live in a town of 80,000 people. Our local paper ten years ago was decidedly biased leftward, in both the news that was selected to report, and the editorial page.

There has been a gradual, but noticeable migration toward the center-right by the editorial page editor. The news reporting still displays significant liberal bias, I think because a small town paper has to rely on the AP. As newsroom jobs get cut, there has to be more reliance on the AP and their ilk.

Our area consistently votes 65% Republican, yet the news bias insults us daily. The move toward the right by the editorial page I think is keeping them viable.
