There was a great pot roast article in the Wall Street Journal a month or so ago. I made it it was good. Other than that, not very much. The Wall Street Journal is somewhat conservative and there circulation has been fairly stable.
I remember after the Value Jet crashed into the Everglades, a USA article said most passenger flights carried hazardous cargo. I had flown for a number of years for the largest U.S. airline, in their largest two fleets. Crews have to be notified of hazardous cargo. Maybe 1 out of 10 flights had hazardous cargo. 9 out of 10 times the hazardous cargo was dry ice. Other than that, its small quantities of radioactive medical items. It would have been so easy for the reporter to get the facts; too lazy I guess. I don't usually believe what I read any more. That was just one example.
Jacoby is the Globe’s token conservative.
San Diego County is a bastion of conservatism in an otherwise very liberal state. So when the local paper deliberatly, willfully and intentionally panders to the minority liberal readers they cut their own throats.
They're sinking like a rock and to that I say, good riddance.
“But if liberal media bias is the explanation, why are undeniably left-of-center papers like the Globe, The New York Times, and the San Francisco Chronicle attracting more readers than ever when visitors to their websites are taken into account?”
Uh, well, if that’s true, the question is, why aren’t they enjoying the profits from the advertisers who pay per hit? Revenue should be going up.
In 1987, I quit taking the NYT, because one day in January, I read a story and said WTF this is his opinion as to why this happened, there is no what happened.
