I’ve heard people blame technology on the decline of print media. “Oooohhhh, young folks all use the Internet for news and papers are an artifact of the 1950s.”
Well that may be true to an extent, but these news rags have been declining for many decades before the net even existed. And Time Mag has plenty of ads and stories on tech and pop culture and hipster stuff, so their target audience clearly is meant to be a youthful one and not senior citizens who’ve been reading it since 1945. Yet their circulation still sinks like a rock.
Answer: It’s not demographics or the Internet, stupid. It’s the liberal garbage and Obama worship you fill your pages with each and every week.
The lack of sales precedes the loss of circulation. magazines and newspapers are no longer effective advertising vehicles and haven’t been since the advent of the internet
“Before my eyes they are crumbling all of them. NY Times, Time, Newsweek the ratings for all 3 evening news are in the toilet.”

Add to that the multiple failures in recent years of liberal radio and TV shows.
I long for the day when PBS loses the government subsidies that prop it up at the expense of the American taxpayers.
