Love the last paragraph!

So, there you go. A woman whose last 5 columns were the 5 most popular columns at Townhall for an entire month can't get mainstream media outlets to carry her column. Yet, you have journalists all across the country griping that no one wants to read newspapers anymore. Well, when you're completely indifferent to what your customers want, it's no shock that they're not interested in your product.

Good point!

Ann Coulter is a great columnist, but I'd rate Mark Steyn and Dr. Thomas Sowell better. Part of the reason is that Ann has to resort to shock statements to get the most attention whereas Steyn uses humorous satire and Sowell uses pure intellect to accomplish the same think.

While this is obvious to most people, the Liberal Mind is convinced that conservatives don't (and in many cases don't know how to) read. Consequently, they draw the (perfectly logical) conclusion that there is no such thing as a popular conservative columnist from their (flawed) premise.

"you have journalists all across the country griping that no one wants to read newspapers anymore....."

Which would be another reason why the statists want a kill switch for the internet, and FCC regulation. They want to be able to manipulate the 21st century communications medium in the same way they have manipulated television broadcasts in the 20th century. Reminds me of the "Government-Media Complex" M. Savage speaks of. Saw a post earlier today on FR mentioning how Mika B. from MSLSD (thanks Mark Levin) admitted to working with the White House on talking points for the BP spill disaster. Spin baby spin. The relationship between television networks and the government is absolutely horrifying.

The MSM think that not only the customer is always wrong but also stupid.....and they wonder why they are dying.

[freekitty]

Because they are stupid.

I laughed yesterday because I complained to my wife about the newspaper . . . I dig it out of the recycling bin in our condos to use to pick up my dog crap. I complained because they recently made the paper smaller in size (no longer doing their own printing). I complained because I was worried I would get dog crap on my hands. I am the son of a newspaper editor and I don’t think I’ve read a paper in 3 years, maybe more.

Here's the Ann ping!

Let me know if you'd like to be added to the Ann Coulter ping list.

not to nitpick, but someone needs to enlighten John Hawkins that ‘sister peggy’ went wobbly long ago. She is neither “A-list” or “conservative”.

Newspapers play the role of liberal "scold" - print what the "great unwashed - the little people" need to hear (by their holy standards) - not what they want to read.

Liberals want us to eat seaweed and tofu rather than what we want to eat - and the cutting edge newspaper food reflects their bias.

Watch movies that put us and our beliefs down - and lecture us about the superiority of their beliefs - read the reviews....

Then we're fed only the liberal side of an issue - and asked to vote accordingly. And yet they wonder why their numbers continually go down...

Re: Coulter

As a proud “Crank”, I ( personally) will never willingly give Coulter another dime of my money.

My local paper dropped Ann’s column under pressure from a few lefties after she criticized the Jersey Girls exploitation of their husband’s deaths on 9/11 for their own leftist politics. I remind them periodically of how much their circulation has dropped since they dropped Ann. It probably won’t do any good, but I enjoy rubbing their liberal noses in their own failure.
