The lsm is bleeding from the lose of readers, but they will go into bancruptcy knowing that they have fought the good fight, against America and all that She stands for. Communism, socialism and liberalism the great struggle against the evil, capitalists in America. Journalists of the world unite, no lie too great to tell in our mission to destroy those evil Americans. Onward into the dustbin of history.

Those stupid RATs will never get it right.

This is the reason I never buy newspapers or news magazines. It is just trash. I get enough junk mail a week to fill a garbage bag. I don't need any more.
