Meanwhile, there is the blog terror: people are getting their understanding of the world from random lunatics riffing in their underwear, rather than professional journalists with standards and passports.

Michael, are you claiming to not be a lunatic yourself?

For that matter, what makes having a passport or "journalistic standards" an authority of ANY sort?

I grew up addicted to newspapers and gave up on them because I didn't have the time and because I started getting news from other sources. I haven't read one regularly for years. I recently bought a trial subscription to one of the Chicago papers, mainly to help out the kid who said he was in a competition for a scholarship and, just as this article says, I wind up seeing all kinds of news that I already knew about. That, plus the decidedly leftward slant (the front-page story on the arts section yesterday was "Where Are All the Butch Dykes?" in TV and movies) makes me question whether I'll continue the subscription past the trial period.

I do enjoy several small-town newpapers in my area for local news, and I do enjoy the feel and smell and relaxtion of sitting down with a newspaper. I like to read the Sunday paper straight through. I can't imagine doing that online.

I don't like seeing the decline of newspapers. But I don't see how it's avoidable considering the product many newpaper publishers put out.

And where do these wannabes get most of their information? From newspapers, of course. But that is mere irony. It doesn't pay the cost of a Baghdad bureau.

Ow! My head! Again! Tell me, why should I give even a quarter of a damn about a Baghdad bureau if the journalists you put there are either beholden to the Saddam regime or dedicated to demoralizing the United States?

Thanks for asking!

1) Stop Lying.

2) Stop pimping Socialism.

OMG, "standards and passports." "Standards"? What "standards"? I started laughing at this point and just couldn't stop.

There, fixed it.

Being part of the MSM is somewhat of a trust. Violate it and you'll lose eventually. Dan Rather was the first serious casualty.

Fact is, they have proven they don't deserve our trust. In a world without options, the damage is minimal. But that is no longer the case.

It won't die though. It will just shrink - substantially.

Do Newspapers Have a Future?

Yes!

Their pulp will keep many a homeless man warm at night in the burning embers of a trash can blaze.

Michael Kinsley?

Does this screaming fool have any intact blood vessels left? I watched him on CNN for no other reason than to see if his eyeballs might pop out and roll across the floor.

It is good for them to fill their pain. I feel zero pain for this left wing whining bozo.
