Space to sell News papers is finite, we need to insure that we have
equal Conservative and Liberal Paper sales.
Conservative and Liberal newspapers are all 95% ad space anymore, and are
equally fit for wrapping fish and lining bird cages.
In truth, it is the opposite. No form of the media has been harder hit by
the Internet and the recession as newspapers. Classifieds, formerly multiple
sections of papers, are nearly gone. Auto supplements and sections are gone,
and advertising is minimal. Real estate, like auto and classifieds, has gone
to the web and is far less visible in print. Circulation is off, and papers
have horrible reach of 18-44 year olds, so most other ad categories are off.
Papers have cut sections, because they can't support them. Most are pretty
bare in terms of ads.
It's pretty disingenuous to say that papers are 95% ads when the New York
Times is bleeding to death, Gannett and McClatchy are at the rim of
bankruptcy, and revenues have collapsed everywhere.
because they were purchased, or infiltrated by hedge funds that drove
up debts, so that the parasitical hedge fund could sit by their pools,
and collect checks from the cash flow. they created such bland papers,
that they drove almost everyone away, no matter the age.
now they cannot pay their bills. to bad, the papers backed free
market economics, and now its bite them in the ass.
