The Future Of Newspapers


The Sports Curmudgeon offers his perspective on the future of newspapers. Why is this important? We lose a source to deliver flyers for one thing.

Re: The Future Of Newspapers


It's all the Internet's Fault, paper was like sooo 1990's!

You know what's intersting though? Most people don't belive the Internet is a good source for news, they feel like anything can get posted on line... So would that mean that when really bad things start happening, like this bail out BS, and people start with conspiricy theories, every one's just gonna dismisses them because their source was online! I mean right now if it's on the New york times or the Washington post it is legitimate, if it's anywhere else they are just cooky left or right wingers w/ an "Agenda".

I'm starting not to like tommorrow very much...

I have no need to buy newspapers anymore. More wood available to build more homes and put more people to work is what I say!

Besides, there was a time when people would rent horses, then the car came along. Progress is good, and so is the internet for news.

Did you know that shoe making was a large industry in the US at one time?

Adapt. Find a different way. You're upset because you won't get fliers anymore?

Do you need to start a fire every morning?

CNN is definitely dominated by the left & nowhere near the center

CNN = Clinton News Network, they might change there name over to ONN shortly though, however they are not as biased as MSNBC

Fox is pretty centered. Most other news outlets are so left leaning that the perception among some is that fox must be right wing.
