The End of (Most) Newspapers

Conservatives, every time you open your mouth about the "liberal media," you shoot yourselves in the foot yet again. It amazes me how people who sincerely believe in capitalism and desperately want more conservative voices in media are still completely incapable of using the one to try to accomplish the other. You can't start your own media outlets? Or take over an existing one?

What you're actually against is the fact that the media have until recently prospered with the approach they have now, because most people aren't as conservative as you, and that the only reason they're not prospering now is due to changing societal communication and information consumption patterns, not to the unattractiveness of their editorial approaches. You're like an ugly person who claims all mirrors must be flawed.

A Sad Day for Newspapers

This is an amazingly stupid opinion. If that were the case the liberal ones would be hurting and the conservative ones, like the Wall Street Journal, would not. Which is not the case. But then again, though there are many stupid Democrats, there is some substance to their claims of greater thoughtfulness-- "the thinking person's party," etc. I mostly hear drivel like this from right-wingers.
