Newspapers Failing

And they can’t figure out why, mostly because they are “in denial.” My nephew told me the “Indianapolis News” was gone, while the "Rocky Mountain News" is likewise gone. I well remember the failure of the “Indianapolis Times,” one of the early victims. Old "Rocky" employees are (again) starting a paid web site as a means of still being able to use their writing skills to make a living. I wish them well, although their idea of why their newspaper failed is wrong. People are just getting tired of the same old liberal claptrap in their pages and the same fate will likely befall their web site, as it did their first one last year if they don’t change that. It's not just the "Rocky Mountain News" and the "Indianapolis News." It's newspapers all over the world. The "Seattle Post-Intelligencer" is also closing, as are several San Francisco papers. The "New York Times" is "bleeding cash" and may not last another year. The "Los Angeles Times" is also in trouble. Many other papers in the U. S. as well as other countries, whose demise doesn't make nearly as much noise when they fail, are going "down the tubes."

The entire newspaper industry is the "buggy whip industry" of today as "time moves on." They are failing partly because of the Internet, where you can get news directly from both local and news sources in other countries without the Associated Press as a “middle man,” but mostly because of the liberal CONTENT. They just don’t recognize that. There is liberal content on the Internet today, too. But you aren’t forced to read it as you are when your only choice is your local newspaper (which is liberal-leaning) and the (likewise liberal-leaning) national news media on “over-the-air” television. That is also changing, as Fox News (the only cable network today that tells both sides) creeps up on them. They’re (rightly) frightened of Fox, for the same reason liberal politicians “wet their pants” at the mention of Sarah Palin’s name. They (and she) tell the TRUTH about what’s happening today unashamedly—and they can’t stand that. (Just common sense)
