Of course circulation is plummeting. They all say the same thing, day after day in paper after paper.

Obama is great,
Obama is good,
Let us thank Him for our food.
By His hand, all will be fed,
He gives us now our daily bread.
HAIL OBAMA!!

State funded media, only in a more roundabout deceitful way. At least the Soviet Union was honest about their state funded media.

It was heartening to see that one newspaper had an increase in circulation: The Wall Street Journal

Those new subscribers may actually learn a couple of things from the WSJ: how free enterprise is supposed to work AND conservative philosophy from the editorials.

I only buy the local paper for one reason the 2 or 3 page LOCAL section.

I could care less about the other 98% of the news articles which I have already read on the Internet the day before.

I get the local liberal rag on Sunday for the coupons and the TV section.

Yesterday's front page was this: Doing Death Better. It took up most of the page.

The editorial section had another "get dead quickly for America" article. I feel kind of bad to still be breathing today. lol

I do the same thing. Why buy old news when you can get it for free on-line.

The WSJ is not all that different, its editorial page is different, pro-illegal amnesty and open borders for instance.

The WSJ is mostly very conservative in its editorials. I fear the open borders thingy is because business wants that scenario. How does the WSJ justify that stance?

The Wall Street Journal equals the top down intolerance of social Marxism and now with their massive support of the Kenyan Marxist, they have embraced a fascist economic system.

When the Marxist cuts their pay, they are “free market” capitalists again. They want to totally over populate the country with third world foreigners which promises more oppression from soicalist/Marxist power and they want a world government that will promise the world more socialist/Marxist oppression - without the pesky elections.

In short, Wall Street is brainwashed, inbred and a totally retarded foreign creation of limo-liberal multiculturalism. Their ethics comes from Africa, their loyalty to the destruction of the bill of rights and America comes from the Soviet Union, their morals from the San Francisco bath houses, and their business practices from the Drug Cartels of Mexico. They have become the lowest common denominator of liberalism’s global cesspool.

Today’s corporate fascist idiots make me as sick as the Democrats and Rinos do. Globalism is not a friend to American freedom and well being in culture, nor environment, nor governance nor economically.

Some years ago from an inch thick Sunday edition of a major paper I clipped all the "news items" -- which totaled less than an ounce and fit in a business size envelope. When I subscribed to a daily paper I grew to hate seeing another pound of paper show up -- like it was somebody throwing trash on the sidewalk. So add that to reasons why not to get a newspaper:

1) many pounds of paper for less than an ounce of news,
2) even the "news" is mostly tabloid stories and liberal propaganda,
3) I can get more news from the internet.
