For want of the truth the Post was lost.............
Did the internet kill print and broadcast media?
Or are its mortal wounds, self-inflicted?
Damn you , Al gore.
No matter, the stench of the leftist media
Will linger on in the form of its carcaii uhh carcasses
THE WASHINGTON POST WAS SOLD FOR A PITTANCE OF WHAT IT WAS ONCE WORTH BECAUSE OF ITS CONTENT... PERIOD... END OF STORY!
The NYT, WASH Post, LAT, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, NBC and PBS, etc, etc, are all written/produced for people who wish the country was ruled by the old Soviet Union.
Your demise is predicated by your insufferable arrogance. Instead of reporting the truth you pushed your despicable agenda to destroy the world’s last best hope for freedom, thus ensuring your uselessness.
I foresee a rosy future for you in the fish wrapping or birdcage lining business. These will surely upgrade your content.
A total disregard for the news killed the post.
The NYT is just kept afloat by the shear volume of bird cages in NYC.
We could only wish our press was even half as diverse as the “Yes, Prime Minister” quote would suggest.
FWIW http://digmysite.net/politico.com suggests that Politico is valued around 4 million dollars. If this valuation is even remotely correct, Mr. Douhat’s argument is meaningless.
We subscribed to the Post for years (local paper for us), mainly because my wife wanted the “Cooking” section and she also did the crossword every day. My wife passed away in December 2010. One of the first things I did after she died was cancel the subscription.
Hey NYT...check your airspeed and altitude.
You’re not far behind.
And I’m watching with glee in anticipation of your upcoming crash with no survivors.
I’ll have some fries with my burger, ex-journalists.
Look for the Post to make a radical shift to an online paper under the new mangagement, setting off a revolution in the news business for old line papers.
Old line newspapers have tried to adapt to the internet without a whole lot of success because they have failed to commit completely to the new media, maintaining an expensive paper version of their newspaper for an ever dwindling section of the public.
However, the problem he has to solve is that most of us internet browsers don’t want to pay for a subscription to just one or two news outlets. We want to pick and choose between many. Like ebooks, they will have to survive by mass marketing their great news content at a way reduced price.
