Even the horse and buggy had to eventually  admit defeat.  It's time for the printed news to drift off into yesteryear.

despite yer glee and rejoicing it's a very sad situation

Glee and rejoicing?  How did you read that into my post?

Why should it be sad.  Nothing is forever.  It is a thing of beauty, it re-affirms the continuing advancement of man.

Ad rev down....

Do you think they're getting the hint?

[wmdn_bs]

What hint? The hint that millions of people know how to list ads for free on Craigslist, and thousands of product/service specific forums?

Craigslist.org

I belong to several outdoor related, (hunting/fishing), forums and they all have free ad listings that are geographically specific.

 American news print providers are the Original PRAVDA Of the USA!!  No newspaper in the US has endorsed Trump.  99% of them are extremely anti 2ND Amendment.. Most are UNION !!  Liberal to the core !!

If the slow death of newspapers is any indication it would be after they are no more neutral and keep who they support to themselves people who are not in the same camp don't like it and in time they stop buying what they don't like. It does not automatically translate into R majority, democrats don't buy newspapers because they can't afford it even if they like the "news" and republicans don't buy newspapers because they don't like the "news".

When I worked I heard from some regular customers that they stoped buying paper regularly, they buy only now and then, because of the unhinged bias.

Another thing is they like to print long stories that not everyone cares about instead of actual news from the whole world because everywhere in America there are people from all over the world and they would like to read news about where they are from.

I think that is far more true of the vast majority of fake news or social commentary internet sites.

No reasonable person has endorsed Trump. He is unendorsable.

That wouldn't bother me. I read the daily papers online anyway, and yes, the mainstream media.

Everything is on-line, in the Cloud.  Why have a big hunk of folded-up paper in your hands and get ink all over your fingers? ? ?

reading a newspaper is civilized activity

it involves a monetary transaction like a quid pro quo

seeing on the net is sterile isolation

further destroying human interaction further strengthening self centeredness

many people here already show symptoms growing self centeredness inured to interacting
