We must subsidize the news papers
So they can tell us ’bout the news makers
We can’t live without ’em
And their lib’rul spoutin’
Even though we know they’re news fakers
In related news, the sun rises, and a bird builds a nest…

Any ideas on the best way to fight something like this?
Fight it? It’s the funnest end of civilization ever and it’s too late to stop.
Watch and laugh, there’s nothing else to do.
Besides, it’s going to be not so funny before long so enjoy it while you can.
Me? I’m trying to figure out how long you cook squirrels over a 451 degree fire.
How about the organization built for the tea bag parties extend to arrange targeted boycotts of advertisers in subsidized media?
Jefferson: “Dependency breeds subservience.”
John Fuckin’ Kerry: “Let’s hope so.”
Our esteemed host asked:
Yeah: get to some brainy newspaper owner and point out the obvious: it wuld cost less to give each subscriber a Kindle then it does to deliver the dead trees newspaper to his door every day for one year.
I really do love newspapers, and yes, I actually buy a copy of The Philadelphia Inquirer on my way to work every day. Sure, the editors are liberals, but the news pages are pretty good.
If newspapers went the Kindle route, they’d zero out production and delivery costs. The Kindles would simply receive the “paper” every day, would be updated as the paper udated its normal website, and the profit margins could return.
And all of it could be done without a government bailout.
JeffG – Ridicule seems a good place to start.
It sort of doesn’t matter. Who cares if the buggy whips are communist when no one is using buggy whips anymore? It’d be like bailing out the telegram providers.
Historically unprecedented mass murder, or a sign with a pun on it.
Yeah, what Sarah said too.
For hard news, my local fishwrap is utterly worthless. They’ve cut all of the local sections and the main section is 90% wire stories. On a recent morning, that section was all of 6 pages. 2 of those were the business section, which has been eliminate as a stand alone section. The sports section is still decent, and I guess if you clip coupons, it’s still a bargain overall. But that’s about it. I just can’t be bothered with it. If they have anything unique to say, I can read it online.
Soon we will have only one newspaper. His Royal Trajesty Barry big ears Opie Obama will be the editor. It will be known as the DAILY ACORN.
TARPed, everything TARPed.
Throwing a tarp over the body of Lady Liberty they are.
Our local paper, THE MILWAUKEE URINAL smells worse than the dead fish I wrap in it.
Let me give you a review the past decades news.
Murder murder and more murder almost always in Blue African-American neighborhoods.
Taxes, taxes and more taxes. Needed to keep the Blue African-American neighborhoods pacified and “peaceful”
Flunking, dropping out, truancy and teen pregnancy, (see above for neighborhood)
Black unemployment at historic high levels nearly mirroring black drop out rates. (same neighborhoods)
Now to the editorial page.
Whitey to blame
Tax the suburbs
Too much racism
Need more taxes and more bennies for public school flunk-o-rama.
Get us out of Iraq now.
Repeat as necessary, Polly want a cracker.
Tax
All
Republican
People.
TARP
“There also is the important question of whether online journalism will sustain the values of professional journalism, the way the newspaper industry has.”
What’s so mystifying is John Kerry says this stupid shit when he knows he’s being recorded.
‘Feets, what Kerry’s saying is “the important question of whether online journalism will continue to act as the media arm of the Party”.
Stop McCain from getting the nom in 2008?
Oh, you probably want one that doesn’t involve time travel. That’s harder.
Is Kerry talking about the CRACK journalists that still haven’t reported on his non-wounds in Viet Nam?
The best way to fight this is to remember that more clicks here mean less clicks there … it’s not zero sum exactly but it’s closer than people generally recognize I think. We’re working toward fostering an expectation that people use at least a handful of alternative sources of information and opinion and are less reliant than ever on the MSM. The left is actually doing a better job of this than the right is. The second best way to fight this is to shine a bright spotlight on the dirty socialist propaganda churned out daily by NPR. That’s what dirty socialist government propaganda looks like, and the market has definitely spoken that the appeal of NPR is limited to the rich white racist proto-nazi professional class.
You are right Happyfeet. We need to continue to call them on their lies and distortions.
There is no global warming. That is a prime example.
Sure there is. There’s also global cooling. There are ice ages and interglacial periods. The former last about 90K years, the latter about 10K on average. We’re past due for this interglacial to end, so the current lack of sunspots is far more alarming to me than the half-degree increase in temperatures last century.
What has not been proven is anthropogenic global warming as a result of increased CO2 levels. In fact, the record shows that CO2 levels go up or down about 800 years after the corresponding increase/decrease in temperature levels. I can at least understand where post hoc, ergo propter hoc comes from, but this is pre hoc, ergo propter hoc!
But Crap-n-Trade will proceed nevertheless.
Can you put in a damned Preview button?

However, this is not always the case according to expert Peter Slazinblagin, head of the Professional Institute for Studying Sunlight. “Just because it gets brighter outside does not mean the sun is always rising.” He stated. “This is a well known myth perpetuated on the right…”
Just call your Congressman and tell them, “Hey thanks, but I can supply my own fish wrap and birdcage liners just fine.” “There’s no need for a government subsidy to the marine food and avian pets industries.”
“This way, the government will get more direct control of the message,”
Fascist bitch.
At least she is honest about it.
Sometimes.
