Hi,
We already do that, it is called NPR.
Just like the "Air America" talk shows, libs stuff does not sell because it is based on lies. They can bail out the papers all they want but still no one would buy them.
I live in Lakeland, FL and the local paper is owned by the New York Times and it is one of the most biased, dishonest papers I have ever seen. During the election between Kerry and Bush we got both the Tampa and Lakeland paper as we had just moved and I had some time left on my Tampa subscription. I quickly noticed several things.
1. All the letters to the editor in the Lakeland paper were wide left with no attempt at fairness. Many of the letters were based on flat out lies and not a word was said.
2. All the editorial writers were libs.
3. On three separate occasions there were identical articles written by the Associated Press that appeared in both papers.....only the one owned by the New York Times edited out all the paragraphs favorable to Bush.
I thought that we had just moved into the largest democrat stronghold in Florida. I was quite surprised to find that 66% of the vote in our county was for Bush and 33% for Kerry.
It was not three months later there was a blurb in the Lakeland Paper asking for customers to come to a meeting to provide feedback on how to make the paper better. I wrote them and said I could not make the meeting but had some feedback they might consider.
A senior editor called me and I, very sincerely, told him that there are two colleges here in town and both have marketing courses. If he checked with them they would likely tell them to learn their market and respond accordingly. If 66% of the folks in town voted for Bush; perhaps they should consider being fair with their letters to the editor, editorials and who they endorse for president. They were only appealing to 33% of their market.
He denied being biased and then I pointed out the AP articles and asked him why the copy favorable to Bush was edited out. Never once did I use profanity or raise my voice. Rather than answering my question he hung up on me.
Was not too long after that I read an interview with the guy who owned the New York Times. He basically said he would rather lose money and push his political agenda than change the way they do business. His agenda was more important than profits. Well we continue with the Tampa paper and have not bought the Lakeland paper in several years. They are losing money, laying folks of and hanging on by a shoestring.
As far as I am concerned the sooner they shut down the better. They care as much about the citizens of this city as the libs do about America.
Such a thing as a journalist is few and far between if you ask me. Now all they do is make up stuff to justify their liberal point of view. Let them get in line for their unemployment money and see what it is like to have to get a real job.
