haha...someone sue them! ; )

Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of cowards.

Bu Bye

When the concept of freebies and entitlement comes to bite liberals in their rear ends, suddenly it's not so fun any more.

Boy, that's true. They also have the problem their most fervent political allies have been dumbed down by public education to the point THEY CANNOT READ!

Beautiful!

Too funny. For years this same media blasted capitalism and now they want “their” property protected from those who they trained to hold personal property rights null and void.

Well, we’re extremely angry too and we’re not going to take it (the newspaper) any more. As someone posted early on...certainly it’s not the CONTENT, is it?

<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW" />
<META NAME="GOOGLEBOT" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW" />
<META NAME="GOOGLEBOT" CONTENT="NOARCHIVE" />
That ought to fix Google seeing your pages Mr. Newspaper man.

AP == Absurd Propaganda

Sorry, guys — but you need to consider the number of people who don’t even read the crap you print as soon as they see you’re the source.

It’s not that we’re getting our news online as much as we’re ignoring your stories, wherever they appear.

US newspaper owners, their advertising revenue evaporating,

Linking to their websites doesn't affect their revenue .the fact that newspaper advertisment is no longer worth it does.

Why pay ty advertise  in the paper when you can advertise for free at Craiglist or put up your own website  for a fraction of what they charge.

They're doomed

The ‘journalist’ creed:

WHO... can I destroy today?
WHAT...will it do for my career?
WHERE...is the camera?
WHY...let the truth stand in your way?

Perhaps the AP should have focused more on delivering a quality product, rather than cramming an agenda down everyone's throat.

Adios, jerks!

Oops, I almost forgot:

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Not really a good example. King Canute was wise king. His court lavished so much false praise on him that he ordered the sea to roll back to prove that he couldn’t do it. They got the point.

[CodeToad]

Considering that nothing in a newspaper is anything but a political opinion piece, it seems fair to use it as a discussion topic. If there were truly breaking news articles I could see the complaint but every newspaper steals from every other news source and then injects liberal bias, making the articles stolen political opinion pieces themselves. What are they complaining about?

I find it funny that this article is posted on FR.

Then again the aggregators drive traffic to the papers and AP.

Whatever...

If we could go back 65 million years and have a sound recording of what dinosaurs said to each other as they saw the giant asteroid in the sky, it would sound much like this article reads.

US Newspaper Owners: "It's everyone's fault but ours!"

[Antoninus]

Oooh, I hope they go through with this. Then no one will link to their crappy stories.
