Instead businesses run until the last cent is borrowed and spent and then they close leaving many employee's wondering why they stayed on.

The news that is published is old by they time it hits the stands. Why would I want to buy the paper when I already know the story behind the headline? While I do think that there is a bias in the reporting, I don't think that it has anything to do with the demise of print media. The prices just went up for the paper here to make up for lost profits. Keep digging your hole. They just don’t get it. The news that is published is old by they time it hits the stands.

Here in the S.F. Bay Area I frequently walk passed newstands with supposedly different newspapers on display, yet often times they have nearly identical headlines as if they are all been fed the same "news". And indeed, aren't there two sides to every story, not just the "news" pushers? Well said #5. Here in the S.F.

The only paper i subscribe to is the WSJ print have for years and like theere reporting especially the opinion section,as a kid in washington dc i delivered the post and times for 11 months in 1966,thats when a newspaper was worth its print. as a 30 year resident of tucson i always thought it to be a useless paper that generally recycled headlines from the major news sources and a very liberal slant on any topic.Sorry for the folks who lost there job.

I saw almost no fair reporting on the Presidential Election, and nobody seems to care that we never saw a birth certificate with a delivering doctor's signature or a location. A "Certificate of Live Birth" is NOT a birth certificate. Nobody cared. I hope all the newspapers go to hell. Yep.

Now they feel the need to tell you what to think about a story and if you don't take their side they imply you are a fool. News organizations in general have forgotten the role of a free press and are now just propaganda machines. This is just another story about the failure of newspaper that forgot why they were there in the first place. Good riddance.
