Show us some honest journalism and we will let you know.

Big talk, not backed up with facts.

Look at how conservative papers are closing faster than liberal ones. Look at how the Bulletin has fared. ?Are things great in Boston now? Look at the low quality of amateur reporting. Amateur reporting said that Rush Limbaugh was dead and that photos of his corpse were being bought. HA! A press conference from a walking, talking corpse today!

It makes a convenient meme, but it's not true that a liberal slant is what is killing newspapers...American ambivalence toward in-depth reporting is a large part of it. But go on with the Dan-Rather-style fake-but-accurate belief if tyou want.

When it comes down to “conservative” newspapers—they are few and far between to note any sort of trend from in their performance.

All city papers bring in content from the AP, Reuters, and UPI (if UPI exists any longer). These are not “conservative” sources for news. As for national papers like Investors Business Daily or the Wall Street Journal, well, the Wall Street Journal has increased its overall circulation from 2,069,463 in 2008 to 2.1 million (0.6%) in Oct. 2009.

I'd suggest there are no “conservative” papers and that is as much as half of the reason all papers are heading downward in circulation. The rest is from a lack of interest in them (perhaps in favor of internet sources).
