Imagine how much better the country would be if all the newspapers went bankrupt

It’s the dialogue and content.

Funny, that newspaper (WSJ) Rupert bought was supposed to be a huge “failure” due to his glaring conservative tilt… yet is only 1 of 2 national newspapers to either be flat (in revenue, profit margin) or grow in 2008.

Liberals cannot be trusted with anything that needs to make money.
Whether a freebee or someone else’s money.

There’s one thing I’ve never quite understood when unions act this way. Their choices were:
1 – help a failing business stay afloat by sacrificing either pay for their members or some of their members’ jobs.
2 – do nothing to help said business and lose all pay and jobs associated with it.
Why in the world would they choose the 2nd?

With that little moment out of the way, here’s hoping this becomes a trend. I’ve heard that liberals can become conservatives when confronted with real life, so it could be a very good thing for the world if more of them run into consequences that their own actions create.

The MSM bemoans the failure of several major newspapers and blames it all on the internet. But I think the biggest reason for the drop in newspaper circulation is that now there is another voice in the media. A conservative one that is found on conservative websites such as this one. For years we we’ve had to deal with a very smug, liberal media bias from the papers because there really was no alternative voice. Isn’t it great to finally see them put in their place by the very same technology they embraced as a means of further spreading their ideology? But don’t count them down and out just yet. With the possibility of them reviving the Fairness Doctrine, they’ll try to find a way to regulate and limit the amount of free conservative speech on the internet. For it all boils down to the power they want over our lives.

David McCumber, Managing Editor of the paper wrote an infamous editorial in response to this article in which the P-I refused to publish photos of a pair of men who the FBI suspected might be possible terrorists.

According to McCumber, in his editorial:

” I understand that people have a hard time with the concept that we get to decide what is news and what isn’t, and what is fair and what isn’t.”

Well, it looks like McCumber is not the only decider in town.

I think that this is the first of several newspapers that will be going this route. It is not only a sign of the times as more and more are getting their news from the Internet (can’t trust the MSM and their newspapers) but also more and more people are realizing that these newspapers are anything but objective.

It is a shame the same process wasn’t used for the auto industry, but it was/is bail out for the Unions and their support for “THE ONE.” Wonder what will happen in the future, when the car companies are still in the same financial situation? Or do they expect that Congress will force us to buy their cars? This is, provided that our economy doesn’t go totally south and we explode into hyperinflation.

I predict forced subscription is on the way for our “LOONS” of the north.
Take this paper or Al Franken will knock up your pet.

I expect the bailout money will be heading their way any day now as repayment for their help in stealing the election in MN
