Craigslist may be the final blow to this devil.

Promises, promises.

I want to celebrate when the NY Slimes, LA Slimes, and Washington Compost close their evil doors.

I wonder how the situation compares in Britain. Many British newspapers (e.g. Telegraph, Times) or actually interesting. You don't feel like you are being fed pablum.

Well too bad. Think of all the trees the enviromentalists will save. Plus we don;t even wrap fish in the newspapers anymore. We have the internet and Fox News now.

Perhaps if newspapers started printing real news instead of all leading with the same AP story (word for word) if might be worth reading a paper again.

I used to love reading the paper, but now, there is nothing in it that I don't already know more about than the paper did when it took the article off the AP wire. The other day, when the Stock Market had the biggest rise in four years, I couldn't find anything about that on the front page, instead I learned from the headlines that the Iraq surge was a failure.

Note to liberal scumbag journos: tick tick tick.

Your obsolescence awaits and there will be no corporate lawyers to shield your treasonous arses from the criminal prosecution you so richly deserve.

I’m guessing TV news can’t be far behind.

Murdoch will buy Dow Jones. And that reporters union at the WSJ is dead meat along with their ultra-liberal bias.

Apparently the Reportesoris has a lower approval rating than President Bush too.

Can’t wait to dance on the NY Times’ grave...

L.O.L.....I dance on their graves!

The sharpest declines were for classifieds, where spending dropped 13.2% -- not so much a result of competition from the Web as of economic woes affecting certain categories of advertisers.

Boy, these folks really are blind, aren't they?

im glad conservative talk radio built up its farm system in the 90’s.

So basically they’re blamming their problems on... the economy? (Read: Bush)

[Lancey Howard]

Good news BUMP!

[Jack Hammer]

Boohoo. Let ‘em try telling the truth for a change; maybe their revenues would pick up a bit.

Newspaper: A thin wrapper for copious amounts of advertising, containing what you read on the Internet yesterday. Plus a crossword puzzle that is actually fun to fill out with a writing implement.

The sharpest declines were for classifieds, where spending dropped 13.2% -- not so much a result of competition from the Web as of economic woes affecting certain categories of advertisers. Real-estate classifieds, until recently a bright spot for the industry, have plunged along with the property market. Auto and employment classifieds are also sinking. Financial-news outlets such as the Journal are being hurt by a slump in technology advertising ...

Interestingly enough, tax revenues are down in Florida and apparently are also not hitting estimates in California. The California numbers I have seen bandied about were down only some $800 million on a budget of some $140 billion. Florida I believe is seeing a harder crunch, with estimates that perhaps $1 billion down on a $70 billion budget. (California budget article here; Florida budget article here.)

These morons don't realize that if I want to buy a house, I go online to see details and multiple interior and exterior shots of all the houses I'm interested in. Even the 'for sale by owner' houses can be found online. Why would I want to look for a house by reading a few lines (no pictures) in the paper?
