It’s not worth saving, it’s completely brain dead and rotting.... unplug it and put it in the dirt.

The Great Restructuring II: The next ism
So our so-called journalists want to become Amtrak. Let's call it Ampress.
What gall.
They'd probably like to double their subscription numbers with the Republican and Conservative readers they've alienated for decades, but too late!
They are bound to be disappointed. Like the round-heeled woman who dispenses her favors for free and then has trouble landing a husband, newspapers have been giving away their favors to Big Government for ages. And now they have the temerity to ask for payment.
HAR!

What’s Next for the Union-Tribune?
“Other democracies outspend the United States by whopping margins per capita on public media: Canada sixteen times more; Germany twenty times more; Japan forty-three times more; Britain sixty times more; Finland and Denmark seventy-five times more.”
So what is this guy trying to demonstrate? That per capita on spending public media is inversely proportional to personal freedom? We already know that. But note how the left considers it axionmatic that the U.S. (still the most free and wealthy country in the world) should seek to copy the “Other Democracies”.
Precisely. Libocrats are now getting their news from Jon (Liebowitz) Stewart and Osama bin-Olberman, and Zero’s been elected thanks to their failures to report accurately on him. The only ones really reading a newspaper anymore are Republicans.
Are there layoffs at the NY Post? The Washington Times? Haven’t heard of any.
Well, call the Waaaambulance, don’t just sit there laughing!
The Libtard whiner who penned the article under discussion included the following gem. Back in the 1960’s he wants us to admire “the frequency with which “outsiders”—civil rights campaigners, antiwar activists and consumer advocates like Ralph Nader—ended up on the front page”.
Libtard the Whiner seems not to want to remind his readers that almost all of the groups were largely communist.
But, the public is catching on.
Have we had any great newspapers since WWII?
That was when I started reading newspapers and watched them turn into PR wings for the DNC.
If they were truly trying to investigate or inform, we would overlook their ideological bias. It’s the constant repetition of Asspress lies that have made them unacceptable to old school folks like me. I used to devour newspapers.
The amazing thing is, and the author who seems like an intelligent person, that he really doesn’t get the picture at all. All the reasons which he states do not get to the fact that most newspapers do not print news, but propaganda for the liberals in power and spew hate if a perceived conservative is in power. They have many of the characteristics of the controlled former Soviet Union press (Pravda and Izvestiya) and the current Arab presses. The TV networks are not any better.
And he has the gall to ask for tax support. I am postulating that something different will arise from the ashes of large urban dailies in a decade or so.
The Nation does not choose to comprehend that it is syptomatic of the problem. The ultra-left diatribes it publishes differ little from the kind of garbage spewed by American newspapers. What is not said, and what is true, is that the newspapers alienated more than half of their reading public. Then, in pandering to the Democrat left they were also pandering to a population that doesn’t read. Thus, the major cities, dominated by illiterates, are a newspaper’s sinkhole. It is still possible to save the news business by combining major state newspapers in a single entity sold state-wide; one which offers an internet site. Still, it may be too late for that.
The Nation. Ever notice how it’s always the communists who want to save the Democrat newspapers?
The First Amendment guarantees a free press.
If these communist propagandists are so in love with the job of being “journalists” let them continue working...for free!
What? No Rather? Oh, that's right - - he got caught.
But what happens when the last reporter stops collecting a newspaper paycheck and goes into PR or lobbying? She'll leave cable an empty vessel and take the public's right to know anything more than a rhetorical flourish with her.
LOL, I haven't seen this kind of eye-rolling political correctness in couple of years.
Politicians and administrators will work increasingly without independent scrutiny and without public accountability.
Har! Yeah, where would we be if our "journalists" hadn't so aggressively vetted the "community organizer" who ran for president? Man, the way the Democrat newsrooms went after Dumbo, even going so far as to send hordes of "investigative journalists" to Alaska to find out where he buys his panties... Oh wait...
I want everybody associated with the Democrat "mainstream" newsrooms to lose their jobs, their homes, their life savings, and their families. For the damage they have done to America, they deserve nothing less. (spit) Good riddance to the big city Democrat newspapers.
