  2. Well, when all you offer is far left propaganda, cherry pickin’, no real news and side with terrorists, maybe, just maybe, that isn’t a recipe for sustained success.

    A very good point is brought up by a commentor at the bottem of the first page, re New York Post.

    “Print media is dying. No question. But this isn’t just about death of a format, because The NYT has the same opportunity to publish to the internet as everybody else.
    I also grant that blogs and other “new media” outlets, conservative or liberal (full disclosure: I am the former) don’t make the news as much as audit, re-report and editorialize content already available. Yes, they dodge a lot of the financial barrier to entry in journalism by making their business model “watchdog to the media” and mostly covering news already reported.
    Having said all that, what has made this a freefall instead of a painful transition to a new format is that newspapers have given new media oh-so-much to work with. New media has become to old media what old media became to politicians beginning in the 60’s. Which is to say, the aggressor in an unending game of “gotcha”.
    As a result, attitudes towards Print, TV, and now Cable news have become cynical. This tracks to the same attitudes towards old media targets that began 40 years ago. It’s hard to feel a great deal of sympathy for the NYT, inasmuch as they and their peers created the game in the first place. I don’t think they ever really expected to be in front of the harsh light instead of behind it. They still have no clue about any of this and live in denial, so I see no end in sight.
    But for those ready to dance gleefully on the grave, what will happen to the blogs that we all read (right and left) when the old guard is gone? Reporting on source material is cheap. Gathering it is expensive.”

  6. “Gathering is expensive…”
    Yep and if the dinosaurs at CP, AP and Reuters etc. know what’s good for them they’ll be making an effort to milk the pyjamas media model. No reason they can’t make subscriptions available cheep and instead of distributing to 100s or 1000s of outlets …. to 10,000s or more.
    Another upside to this potential paradigm is that discerning (hopefully) clients will be just as quick to filter out the BS and hold a light on the BSers as we are now doing to the MSM retailers.
    Otherwise … independent specialists like Michael Yon will fill the gap … no problem … direct to you from the source.
    How’s that?

  8. I suggest that, yes, gathering the news costs the MSM lots of money, but the prodction costs of spinning it are even greater.

  9. The New York times lays off 100, and the Star, 160.
    Who said these socialist rags don’t print good, unbiased news.

  10. “Please do not hesitate to reach out to me” – is that the way people really talk in that newsroom?
    Sounds like a classic example of how touchy-feely has replaced hard fact-based journalism.

  11. If only the CBC weren’t supported by taxpayer funds, they’d have been gone long ago.
