Newspapers didn't start dying because of 'the Internet' Robert J. Samuelson - they started dying because of the Drudge Report.
ONE site and only one site.
DRUDGE
What Drudge did - that the MSM refused to do - was includ us - the half of Americans who are now backing Trump.e .
It's that easy. Be inclusive. Add a little real diversity - - diversity of thought...
So yes Robert J. Samuelson - YOU can be right in the eyes of all the elites you know - and valued for your great wisdom by that group... and you can take that stance all the way up until the last round of buyouts and downsizing happens that's killing off the newspaper industry. Trump didn't start this... you guys did.
In this case I might be inclined to include FreeRepublic in the mix as they were attacked by the LA Times the former big guy going after the little guy when they took Jim to court for using their “intellectual property”, but in reality saw the handwriting on the wall, that the internet was going to be their death knell so they could not allow “we the People” any discussion rights. That is, if I have the story right.
