#4 ties in with the main point surrounding media shrinkage/consolidation: why do they ALWAYS point the finger of blame elsewhere - mostly at the readership? If McDonald's introduces a sandwich nobody really likes and about which many customers openly complain, does McDonald's tell the customers they are fools?

Top editors are the ones with the most connections... they're traditionally liberal and their sources are liberal. When downsizing comes, they're kept. Institutional knowledge etc... That means in the short run connected liberal editors are most important - in the long run their liberal bias shuts down the whole operation. Excellent analysis relictele
