Moneyrunner:
I am the commentator who wrote those words. Your response indicates that you make the same error in projection as the MSM/SAM elites. You think everybody is motivated by the same things as a blog readers/participants on either end of the political spectrum. Most people aren’t news junkies and only actively address issues when needed. They couldn’t care less about biased news reporting. Newspapers are dying from a combination of a loss of functional literacy, short attention spans and the flight of advertising dollars to the free medium of the internet. It is pure technological change coupled with a dying desire to look at the news in depth in the under thirty crowd. The Washington Times is losing readers as fast as the Post despite their more actual mainstream reporting. The Times no longer publishes a Saturday edition. If there was a widespread desire to have balanced newspaper reporting the Times would be doing better wouldn’t it?
