Are These Newspapers Going Out of Business?

The "New York Slime" another bird cage liner that will take the gas pipe soon. The majority of people are disgusted with the extreme liberal bias of this paper . Bankruptcy cannot come to soon for this liberal rag!

They don't have to worry, b.o. will bail them out.He needs some media to keep on shoveling the dumocrap propaganda.

You hit the nail on the head. Thank goodness there are people in our country who do love our country. The media let us down.

If you'd rather listen to the egotistical idiots on talk radio, you have to tune in at a designated place at a designated time and sit and listen to all the extra garbage that you are not interested in listening to.

I've been an avid newspaper reader since childhood and I can read it ata time when I so desire and throw away parts of the paper I have no interest for.

Please note that my comment here is unbiased! There are liberal talk radio show hosts as well as conservative newspapers and vice versa. All forms of media deserve a chance to get our attention however suits one's desires be it radio, TV, the internet, or printed materials.

I don't care for on air material like TV or radio because it has time limited resources, and I can't hear what anybody is saying when you have three or four idiots talking all at the same time and battling for the microphone like little children fighting over a single toy to play with.

Robert See: I hope everyone reads your story. How true.

Perhaps it's this tired argument of right and left that is missing the real reason papers are dying out: The advertisers are jumping ship. Once upon a time, when newspapers were the only source of daily advertising that could reach a huge market, advertisers were at the mercy of the editorial staff. Circulation has never accounted for more than 10% of any major newspaper's revenue, and classifieds amount to even less. Follow the money.
The Times have changed (no pun intended)-- and advertising online has become far cheaper and reaches a greater market. Anyone who thinks some sort of bias is to blame is blind- you might as well take away someone's oxygen and blame their death on their poor grooming habits.

You are absolutely correct. When interviewed on the street his fans thought that Sarah Palin was his VP running mate.But just think; you have just witnessed the best con job since watching THE STING.

Rush Limbaugh is owned by Clear Channel Corp...a right winged nest of fascists who, like Rupert Murdoch have right leaning extreme views. They own it all and now they will try to steer the GOP further to the fringe range of political lunacy. Obama will succeed and the GOP will have to go find spokepeople with some basic social decency instead of the old propaganda of fear and hate....racially and economically.

I completely agree!! Thank God someone else out there has the guts to speak the truth!

Perhaps if the Strib wasn’t so slanted, it would not be struggling! It is apparent that whoever believes in non-bias reporting does not work for the Strib. I think it’s a great thing…get rid of it! All you people with your sympathy stories and memories of the Strib during your childhood…cry me a river…you’re nothing more than sheeple…baaaaah. What are you going to do once the Strib’s voice (not the people’s voice) is silenced? You just might have to begin thinking for yourself…and oh, what a hard thing that may be!!!

I love how people on here say, "I can't function without my newspaper..." boohoo cry me a river. You are the epitome of a true-blue Sheeple! Make your own investigations instead of reading a politically slanted opinion in the newspaper.

Baaaahhhhh!

It's frightening how ignorant people have become in such a short time. 8-12 years is all it takes to dumb down a nation. I guess the leaders do reflect the people as a whole.
Papers, like any other business, try to sell a product that the majority of people will buy. The majority wanted Obama, as evidenced by the vote. The papers catered to that. The downturn for papers began and continued under Bush, just like the current economic crisis. But the crisis was born under conservative constructs like NAFTA and WTO that even the left embraced whole-heartedly. No single party/line of thought is to blame.
As the readership has become more fractured and the corporate papers print less and less real news, which people have shown they care less about than fiction and drama, the result is that the newspapers will go away. It was bound to happen.
The truth does not prevail in this world, but will in the next. It will not be legislated. It will not be given power on paper only to be shunned in everyday actions, as it is now by 99% of the populace. It will be the chosen course of action by everyone left to do so.
