we can make the broadcasters serve the people what they need to, but may

Oil is finite and so is land..... the band width available can be
shifted and we just digitized TV and we have plenty of TV and Media for
Christ's sake we have a cooking network and music channel and more than
we need on SAT-TV

Space to sell News papers is finite, we need to insure that we have
equal Conservative and Liberal Paper sales.

We can force equal stories in each Newspaper, force them to hire equal
numbers of Right and Left reporters.

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.

In case the USURPER B HO wants to know, I phoned my sister.She said

You ought to see the paper editions of the Clarion Ledger newspaper
www.clarionledger.com nowadays.Only two thin sections, and they want
seventy five cents for that!

The Sunday editions are much thicker.The Thursday editions have the food
stores ads.I quit subscribing to that newspaper many years when the
Jackson Daily News (Jackson Daily News was a good newspaper) merged with
the Clarion Ledger.Clarion Ledger is a commie Gannett rag.All Gannett
rags are commie.

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.

You are full of untruths today.

Papers have been on the decline for 25 to 30 years, because younger people
get their news and information from TV... and in the last decade, from the
Internet. Classifieds are so easy on the web, as is finding a house or
selling one. Checking out cars and prices is also easy on the web... even
buying one and then going to sign and pick it up.

The most debt-free newspapers are still in trouble, because people under 35
or 40 don't read them, and many in older groups don't read as often or as
much... and the three biggest sources of revenue, cars, classifies and real
estate, have all but dried up.

that is your opinion. so far that is all i have seen from you, your
opinion.

Papers have been on the decline for 25 to 30 years, because younger people
get their news and information from TV... and in the last decade, from the
Internet.

of course there are reasons for that. as i have stated. in europe,
news papers and magazines are doing much better because they are not
bland conservative doormats.

selling one. Checking out cars and prices is also easy on the web... even
buying one and then going to sign and pick it up.



that is true. but that does not mean total failure as we have seen in
america. the same things are happening in europe, yet papers are doing
much better there, even thriving.

same in europe, yet, the european papers give people something to
read. they are staying afloat, ours are not. people simply do not
believe them anymore. they cover nothing that is important, or if they
do, its milk toast that some right wing stink tank issues.
