You can get quality articles on the internet aswell. I think the newspapers are just worried that they cant get webpages 3/4 full of advertising.

If you think liberal bias in the media is a myth you're out of your mind. Go read one of the numerous books about written by former journalists who experienced it first hand. Or look at studies like this one: <a class="user" href="http://newsroom.ucla.edu/portal/ucla/Media-Bias-Is">http://newsroom.ucla.edu/portal/ucla/Media-Bias-Is</a> ... Or this one: <a class="user" href="http://people-press.org/reports/display.php3?PageI">http://people-press.org/reports/display.php3?PageI</a> ... which found that a majority of national journalists describe themselves as liberal.This is no myth. Casting it as a myth and ignoring it's impact is on the biggest liberal talking points ever. But they've quieted that down recently because the bias in the press recently has become so blatantly obvious.

The solution: include a 120 page porno section in the back (and a tasty snack) and sales will come back to normal.

Senior citizens are also dropping their subscriptions. One reason is because they can check the obits online in most areas. I'm going to wager that news on cellphones is going to go out of fashion.
