You know, I commented about this, in a give-and-take with Tanker, I think, the other day.
I suspect part of the reason the mainstream news media is dying is because all the newspapers are exactly the same, whereas in their heyday, when there were lots and lots more of them, they were different, and so people purchased more of them.
Now, all the major newspapers are carbon-copies of the New York Times, the mouthpiece of the left wing of the Democrat party, and of course staunchly Obamaite.
It's sort of as if McDonald's was the only restaurant in America.
In California, the Lost Angeles Times and the Oakland Tribune were at one time two of the most staunchly-conservative newspapers around--of course it's quite different today.
One suspects that if five or six--it doesn't matter which ones--major newspapers switched from "left" to "moderate" or "right," being different from the herd, their circulation and advertising revenues would skyrocket.
After all, who wants to dine at McDonald's every day, all the time?
