“You’ll see similar sentiments expressed at other conservative sites. It’s nasty stuff.”

Oh, please. That’s like someone beating and mistreating a dog for years and years and years and then being surprised when it bites you. Or runs away, which is what moderate and conservative readership have done relative to newspapers.

It’s amusing to see the death of newspapers laid 100% at the feet of the internet. Media people refuse to recognize the fact that they’ve made their product insulting and repellent to large segments of the population as being the main problem. “No, no, it’s all because of the internet!” They’d rather go out of business than come down off of the pedestal on which they’ve placed themselves.

What’s sadder and even more disturbing than the bias is the decline in critical thinking and the lack of what I guess you could call rebelliousness in the press. It is not even necessary to read a NY Times article on any given issue because it is already known to readers – left, right and center – what sort of politically correct lecture will be contained in the article. THAT is the really damaging consequence that follows when papers become nothing more than party organs instead of news sources.
