State of Colorado Now Less Objective
One of the country's bigger newspapers died last week. The Rocky Mountain News, a Colorado tabloid that covered the community like Rush Limbaugh covers the podium, even put out live feeds and a documentary on its final night of publication, which was announced the day before by executives of the prolific Scripps company.Now, Denver's a one-paper town, as the Denver Post scoops up a handful of Rocky reporters and enjoys a bittersweet triumph in newspaper rivalries. (The two competing newsrooms actually shared the same building.)
Trampling on the grave of the beloved and hated Rocky is a U.S. congressman from Colorado, Jared Polis, who said Tuesday that he and bloggers deserve credit for vanquishing the news source.
"I have to say, that when we say, 'Who killed the Rocky Mountain News,' we're all part of it, for better or worse, and I argue it's mostly for the better," Polis said at a progressive-politics event, the Post reported.
"The media is dead, and long live the new media, which is all of us," the Democrat declared.
Good for you, Jared. Drinks are on the house. Here's to less information and more misguided opinions. Who needs newspapers, anyway?
The Rocky's fall from the mountaintop is the first big fatality for the newspaper industry, although certainly no surprise to a country that seems to disrespect the press more than most democratic societies should. In case you're unaware of the most recent bankruptcy filings, here they are:
Dec. 9, 2008: Tribune (owns Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, Baltimore Sun, other big dailies)
Jan. 16, 2009: Star-Tribune, Minnesota's largest paper
Feb. 21, 2009: Journal Register, which owns 20 dailies
Feb. 23, 2009: Philadelphia Inquirer & Daily News, Pennsylvania's biggest papers
Other papers treading water for a lifesaver include Hearst's San Francisco Chronicle and Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Oh yeah, and the Houston Chronicle. And the Chicago Sun-Times.
When all these newspapers die, I wonder where the self-proclaimed new-media bloggers will get their information. Do they know how to make a phone call?

With newspapers dying, it looks like we're going to have to rely on you more and more, young Grasshopper.

I would suggest that the left wing politcs of many of the papers may be the problem. I don't want a right wing or left wing paper. I just want facts without spin. You can't buy them.
I'd be curious to know how many papers supporting Dems on a regular basis are in trouble verses papers that support Rep as a rule. That would be interesting data.

I would bet that if these failing papers didn't cave to certain pressures and actually remained neutral... no spin, then perhaps they would not be folding. What was it that the LA Times did just last year? Oh that's right... they refused to release news they felt was too damaging to someone they were backing. I wonder what their position on that would have been if it was the other candidate? If our papers were truly doing their jobs, reporting unbiased news, then people would still have faith in them. I for one canceled my subscription, and I was a supporter of their candidate! Imagine what the other side did? When are we going to begin demading more from our leaders? From our politicians, from our news media, from our children's teachers, from ourselves? Only then will these problems be solved.

Several factors are contributing to the decline (and possible fall) of daily newspapers. Competition from the Net and TV, gross mismanagement, execs and directors more interested in bloating their stock options than they are in producing sound journalism...
So, in partial consequence, both circulation and advertising have plunged. But the ultimate villains are the editors and reporters and writers who staff today's newspapers. Too many lack fundamental skills, while also being short on both intelligence and integrity...Have a point, get to it pronto with facts only, write cleanly and concisely, and leave your shabby opinions outside the newsroom...

Maybe people don't want to pay $1 or more to read biased, unfactual, agenda driven propaganda and then have to sift through 100 advertising inserts. Ever thought of that one ol' grassmuncher?

When the media changed from having a responsibility to having an agenda then the fourth estate lost its credibility. Please put this quote up on your wall, little Neggy.

THE DAY ALL NEWSPAPERS ARE DEAD, WILL BE OUR NATIONAL LIBERATION DAY, WHICH SHOULD BE A HOLIDAY. I HATE THE NATIONAL/MAINSTREAM MEDIA, PRESS, RADIO, ETC., AND I AM SO UNBELIEVABLY ECSTATIC TO SEE THESE TYPE'S OF STORIES. THEY SHOULD ALL GO THE WAY OF THE DINOSAUR. WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE RELY AND BELIEVE THESE PEOPLE AS THOUGH THEY ARE ETHICAL, MORAL, FORTHRIGHT, HONEST, FAIR, AND GOOD. 98% OF THEM SHOULD GO STRAIGHT TO HELL AND BURN THERE FOREVER FOR WHAT THEY HAVE HELPED TO DO TO MANY GOOD AMERICANS IN THIS COUNTRY.
LOOK AT HOW THEY ALL USED AND ABUSED THEIR POWER TO INFLUENCE IDIOTS INTO SELECTING A TOTAL FRAUD AS A FAUX AND ILLEGAL PRESIDENT. NOW WE ARE ALL SUFFERING FOR THEIR APPALLING AND DESPICABLE ACTIONS AND BEHAVIOR.
THESE PEOPLE UNFAIRLY BUTCHERED MCCAIN AND PALIN RELENTLESSLY DURING THE ENTIRE CAMPAIGN, WHILE WORKING 24/7 FOR THE OBAMA MACHINE. THEY COVERED UP, BURIED, SUPPRESS, OMITTED, AND MANIPULATED LIE AFTER LIE AFTER LIE ABOUT THIS FRAUD OBAMA, WHO IS NOTHING BUT AN INEPT, INEXPERIENCED, UNQUALIFIED AND UN-STATESMENLIKE GUTTERSNIPE, SQUATTING IN OUR WHITE HOUSE.
WE NEED TO CONTINUE PROTESTING OBAMA. THE MEDIA, PRESS, RADIO, ETC., ARE COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY 100% RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEVASTATING MESS WE ARE NOW IN. THIS CRISIS COULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY AVERTED AND WE COULD HAVE BEEN WELL ON OUR WAY BACK ON THE ROAD TO PROSPERITY BY NOW, HAD THE MEDIA, PRESS, RADIO, ETC., REPORTED ALL THE SHOCKING AND EXPLOSIVE INFORMATION THEY HAD ON THIS USURPER. BUT NO, THEY HAD DIDN'T. INSTEAD THEY ATTACKED MCCAIN AND PALIN AT EVERY TURN ABOUT NOTHING WHATSOEVER, AND SOMETIMES THEY EVEN GOT CAUGHT IN OUT RIGHT LIES ABOUT THEM. THEY TAINTED, DECIMATED AND DESTROYED THIS ELECTION.
THIS ELECTION WAS TOTALLY BIASED, SLANTED AND RUINED BECAUSE OF THE MEDIA, PRESS, RADIO, ETC., AND THEY WERE ONLY ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH THIS BECAUSE OF COMPANIES WHO CHOSE TO ADVERTISE WITH THEM. THESE COMPANIES PAY THE TV & RADIO STATIONS, AND NEWSPAPERS, TO ADVERTISE DURING THE SHOWS THEY AIR. THESE COMPANIES ARE PAYING THE TV AND RADIO STATIONS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS TO MILLIONS FOR A COMMERCIAL THAT RUNS LESS THAN A MINUTE. THIS IS INSANE AND SO HORRIBLY CORRUPT. THESE ARE OUR PUBLIC AIRWAVES, AND THESE TV AND RADIO STATIONS ARE MAKING TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS EVERY SINGLE YEAR. THEY ARE ABLE TO REACH, MANIPULATE, LIE, AND INFLUENCE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE BECAUSE THESE COMPANIES ARE PAYING EXORBITANT AMOUNTS OF MONEY.
THIS IS HOW THE TV AND RADIO STATIONS CONTINUE TO GET AWAY WITH THEIR EVIL AND CORRUPT BEHAVIOR AND ACTIONS, BECAUSE THESE COMPANIES PAY THEM MILLIONS FOR COMMERCIALS TO KEEP THEM DOING SO. IF YOU, THE CONSUMER, WATCH THESE COMMERCIALS AND THEN GO TO THE STORE AND BUY THE PRODUCTS YOU SEE OR HEAR ADVERTISED ON TV OR THE RADIO, THEN YOU ARE INDIRECTLY AND EFFECTING SUPPORTING OBAMA. DO NOT DO IT ANY MORE IF YOU ARE AS ANGRY AS I AM ABOUT THIS HORRIBLE CRISIS THAT CONTINUES TO GET WORSE AND WORSE AND WORSE EVERY SINGLE DAY.
IF THOSE OF US WHO ARE ANGRY ABOUT WHAT HAS HAPPENED ALL BAN TOGETHER AND BOYCOTT ALL THESE PRODUCTS AND MERCHANDISE BEING ADVERTISED ON TV AND RADIO STATIONS, THEN I GUARANTEE YOU OBAMA WILL NOT LAST A WEEK. HE WILL FOLD UP AND ABDICATE. IF WE LEAVE HIM NO PLACE TO TURN AND REFUSE TO SUPPORT HIM BY BOYCOTTING THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING ELECTED, THEN HE WILL HAVE NO CHOICE OR OPTION BUT TO LEAVE. WE HAVE TO BE STRONG AND FAITHFUL TO THIS BOYCOTT OR IT WON'T WORK. WHEN YOU GO TO SHOP, BUY ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS FROM THEIR COMPETITOR INSTEAD. GOD KNOWS WE HAVE PLENTY OF EVERYTHING IN THIS COUNTRY, THAT IS WHY WE ARE NORMALLY SO BLESSED. WE ARE NOT A BLESSED NATION AS LONG AS THIS EVIL USURPER AND ISLAMIC MUSLIM 'OBAMA HUSSEIN' IS SQUATTING IN OUR WHITE HOUSE THOUGH. THAT IS EXACTLY HOW WE GET RID OF THIS IMPOSTOR. ONCE HE ANNOUNCES HE WILL LEAVE, THEN THE FEDERAL ELECTIONS COMMISSION CAN SCHEDULE A NEW ELECTION. IF WE WANT TO SAVE OUR NATION, THE ECONOMY, OUR JOBS, SAVINGS, LIVELIHOODS, ETC., THEN WE HAD BETTER STICK TOGETHER AND BOYCOTT. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU SEE/HEAR 'HEINZ' KETCHUP, DEL MONTE OR ANY OF THE PARENT COMPANIES OR OTHER PRODUCTS ADVERTISED ON NATIONAL TV OR RADIO STATIONS, DO NOT, NOT, NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. INSTEAD, BUY A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT BRAND OF KETCHUP THAT DOES NOT DO ANY ADVERTISING WITH THESE TV OR RADIO STATIONS, AND/OR HAS NO POLITICAL INVOLVEMENT, CONNECTION OR AFFILIATION WITH ANY OF THEM. BUY HUNT'S OR ONE OF THE OTHER 20 BRANDS SITTING UP THEIR ON THE STORE SHELVES.
THIS IS A PRETTY DAMNED EASY AND UBER-EFFECTIVE WAY TO SAVE OUR ONCE GREAT NATION, DON'T YOU THINK??
THIS IS HOW WE GET RID OF OBAMA, BECAUSE THESE MULTI-MILLION COMPANIES ARE SUPER WEALTHY BECAUSE OF YOU!!. IF WE CRIPPLE THEM AND THEY BEGIN LOSING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN PROFIT, THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY FOR OBAMA. SPREAD THIS MESSAGE AND INVESTIGATE WHO OWNS THE PRODUCTS YOU BUY AND WHERE THEY COME FROM. IT'S A SNAP TO FIND OUT ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET NOW. IT'S SUPER EASY TO GET ANY INFORMATION ON ANY COMPANY OR PERSON WITH THE INTERNET WE HAVE NOW.
THIS IS WHY THIS NEWSPAPER FOLDED AND WENT OUT OF BUSINESS, JUST AS HUNDREDS OF OTHERS HAVE, AND DESERVEDLY SO.
WHAT THESE NEWSPAPERS AND MEDIA PEOPLE FAILED TO REALIZE AND/OR THINK ABOUT, WAS THE RAMIFICATIONS AND THE END RESULT OF THEIR DESPICABLE ACTIONS AND BEHAVIOR. NOW THEY ARE PAYING A HEAVY PRICE FOR THEIR INSIDIOUS, SHAMEFUL AND APPALLING BEHAVIOR DURING THE ELECTION, WHEN THEY JUMPED ON THE OBAMA BAND-WAGON. WHAT THEY FAILED TO REALIZE IS THAT WHILE THEY WERE BUSY BASHING, ATTACKING, ASSAILING AND MALIGNING MCCAIN AND PALIN THROUGHOUT THE ELECTION, THEIR READERS AND SUBSCRIBERS WERE THE ONE'S WHO VOTED FOR THEM, AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHY THEY CANCELED THEIR SUBSCRIPTIONS AND REFUSE TO BUY THEIR NEWSPAPERS. AS FOR OBAMA'S SUPPORTERS, WELL..... MOST DON'T EVEN WORK, LET ALONE READ!!. LOL-LOL-LOL. BAD CALL!. LOL-LOL-LOL-LOL. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY DESERVE. GOOD RIDDANCE TO BAD RUBBISH -- AS MY POP ALWAYS USED TO SAY.
SPREAD THE WORD AND TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO BOYCOTT ALL MAINSTREAM TV AND RADIO ADVERTISERS, OR BUY ADVERTISING SPACE IN NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES, BECAUSE THEY WERE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS MESS. THIS GOES DOUBLE FOR ALL THE IDIOT NO-TALENT ACTORS WHO COULDN'T KEEP THEIR TRAPS SHUT ALSO. SUCH AS PEOPLE LIKE ELLEN DEGENERATE, TINA FEY, OPRAH, ALL THE IDIOT'S ON 'THE VIEW', TYRA BANKS, MATT DAMON, ROSEANNE BARR, AND EVERY OTHER HOLLYWEIRD CELEBRITY WHO SUPPORTED THIS NIT WIT. I DON'T WATCH ANY OF THESE MIND-NUMBING TV SHOWS, OR ANY MOVIE THESE PEOPLE MIGHT BE IN.
OBAMA WAS DOOMED THE MOMENT HE WAS SELECTED, AND HERE’S THE REASON WHY. OBAMA WAS SELECTED BY THE WRONG PEOPLE!!!.
HE WAS SELECTED BY ALL THE BRAINWASHED BOTTOM-FEEDERS IN THIS COUNTRY. THESE WOULD BE YOUR DRUNKS, DRUG ADDICTS, GHETTO BLACK TRASH, PIMPS, GANGSTERS, RAPPERS, BUMS ON SKID-ROW, HOMELESS, VAGRANTS, PEOPLE WHO HAVE “MAD COW” DISEASE; THE SENILE; AND IMMIGRANT WHO WERE ALL PAID BY A.C.O.R.N., …….. AS WELL AS MUSLIMS, WELFARE AND FOOD STAMP RECIPIENTS, ADDLE BRAINED YUPPIES, CULT FOLLOWERS, IDIOT TEENAGERS, UNEMPLOYED UNION MEMBERS, ‘SHEEPLE’, AND EVERY MCDONALDS EMPLOYEE IN THE UNITED STATES.
THESE ARE NOT THE PEOPLE WHO OBAMA NEEDS ON HIS SIDE SUPPORTING HIM. THAT WOULD BE US, THE REPUBLICANS AND OTHERS WHO VOTED FOR MCCAIN. WE ARE THE HARD WORKING INDUSTRIOUS BUSINESS OWNERS; THE WEALTHY; THE BACK-BONE OF THIS COUNTRY; THE CAPITALISTS; THE INTELLIGENT PROFESSIONALS; THE C.E.O’S; THE EMPLOYERS; THE LEADERS; THE INVENTORS; THE MOVERS AND SHAKERS; THE LAND AND PROPERTY OWNERS; THE CHRISTIANS; AND THE TAXPAYING CITIZENS. WE ARE THE CHOSEN ONE'S AND WITHOUT US, OBAMA STANDS NO CHANCE AT ALL, AND WE WANT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS FRAUD, LIAR, AND USURPER. NOT NOW, NOT EVER!!!
REMEMBER THIS IMPORTANT FACT, WHICH THE MEDIA, PRESS, RADIO, ISP’S, ETC., DON’T WANT YOU TO DO. THERE ARE OVER 380 MILLION PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN AMERICA, BUT ONLY 60 MILLION OF THEM (SO THEY CLAIM) SELECTED OBAMA. THIS MEANS OVER 320 MILLION PEOPLE DID NOT VOTE FOR HIM, DO NOT ACCEPT HIM, DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE, DO NOT TRUST HIM, DO NOT LIKE HIM; DO NOT HAVE ANY FAITH IN HIM; DO NOT WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH HIM; AND MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL WE ABSOLUTELY NO CONFIDENCE IN HIM. I WOULD SAY WE ARE THE ‘SUPER’ MAJORITY, AND THE MAJORITY IS NOT SUPPORTING HIM IN THIS FIASCO. NOT NOW, NOT EVER!!. HE IS NOT OUR PRESIDENT AND WE WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS FRAUDULENT AND ILLEGAL PARASITE, BORN IN KENYA, AFRICA!!.
60 MILLION ‘SHEEPLE’ MAY HAVE SELECTED AND SUPPORT MISCREANT CHICAGO THUG AND HIS COHORTS, BUT THEY CAN NOT, AND WILL NOT, EVER FORCE THE REST OF US TO DO SO.
WHY DO YOU THINK THE STOCK MARKET KEEPS PLUNGING?. IT'S BECAUSE THE AMERICAN PUBLIC HAS NO CONFIDENCE IN THIS IDIOT FRAUD, WHO HAS ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE WHAT HE IS DOING, AND THAT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE HE HAS ONLY BEEN A SENATOR FOR A TOTAL 127 DAYS IN THE MOST CORRUPT STATE IN THE NATION, BEFORE HE QUIT TO RUN FOR THE PRESIDENCY.
OBAMA HAS NO IDEA HOW ADDRESS OR TACKLE THIS CRISIS, LET ALONE COME UP WITH ANY SUSTAINABLE OR SUBSTANTIAL PLAN OR SOLUTION. NOW HE'S JUST RESOLVED HIMSELF TO SAYING "WELL, THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM AND IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LONG TIME TO WORK IT'S SELF OUT. I HAVE FAITH THAT EVERYTHING WILL WORK OUT". WELL, ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL, COSMIC, SPECIAL, AND INSPIRING NEWS COMING FROM THE CHOSEN ONE. GEE, I WONDER WHY WE DIDN'T GET THAT PARTICULAR VERSION OF HIS TAKE ON OUR ECONOMIC MESS DURING THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN??.
HE HAS NO EXPERIENCE OR QUALIFICATIONS, AND HE IS WAY OUT OF HIS LEAGUE. HE SHOULD JUST ADMIT THAT HE BIT OFF MORE THAN HE COULD CHEW, AND MADE A MISTAKE. HE SHOULD JUST WALK AWAY WHILE HE CAN. IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO RIGHT A WRONG, OR RECTIFY A MISTAKE OR AN INJUSTICE. HE IS NOT THE RIGHTFUL WINNER. HE DID NOT EARN THE RIGHT TO BE CALLED THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. HE DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, NOR IS HE ENTITLED TO IT. THIS ELECTION WAS COMPLETELY MANIPULATED BY THE MASS MEDIA, RADIO AND PRESS, AND THE PUBLIC HEARD ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT OBAMA, HIS PERSONAL LIFE, LEGAL TROUBLES, DRUG USE, KENYAN BIRTH, HIS CRIMINAL AND TERRORISTS FRIENDS, HIS HOMOSEXUAL LIAISONS, HIS REFUSAL TO PRODUCE SCHOOL TRANSCRIPTS, BIRTH RECORDS AND A GENUINE "LONG FORM" CERTIFICATE, MEDICAL RECORDS, COLLEGE RECORDS, DRAFT CARD, HIS ILLEGAL AND UNETHICAL REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS, HIS RACISTS AND DANGEROUS ANTI-AMERICAN OPINIONS AND STATEMENTS FROM HIS OWN BOOKS, ETC., ETC., ETC..... THEY BURIED EVERYTHING ON THIS GUY, GAVE HIM A FREE PASS, AND THE PUBLIC HEARD NOTHING ABOUT THESE FACTS AND SHOCKING AND EXPLOSIVE SCANDALS.
DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY DOCUMENTS OBAMA HAS PUBLICLY SHOWN TO THE MEDIA, PRESS, AND THE PUBLIC??. '0', ZERO. ZIP. ZILCH. NADA. NOT ONE! HE HAS SHOWN NO ONE ANYTHING TO BACK WHAT HE CLAIMS TO BE OR ACCOMPLISHED - NOT ONE SINGLE DOCUMENT! IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR THE CONSTANT INTERFERENCE 24/7 BY THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA, PRESS, RADIO, ETC., WHO SUPPRESSED, OMITTED, AND COVERED UP EVERYONE ONE OF THE DIRTY, CORRUPT, UNETHICAL, AND CRIMINAL SCANDALS IN HIS CLOSET, HE WOULD NEVER HAVE WON IN A MILLION YEARS.
NOW WE ARE ALL PAYING THE PRICE FOR WHAT THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA, RADIO, AND PRESS DID, WORKING FOR THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN. THEY ARE COMPLETELY, TOTALLY SOLELY, AND UTTERLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS CATASTROPHE AND NIGHTMARE WE ARE NOW IN. THAT'S WHY I NEVER WATCH ANY OF THE MAINSTREAM/NATIONAL TV OR RADIO CHANNELS, OR BUY THE PRODUCTS ON THE COMMERCIALS YOU SEE RUNNING DURING INTERMISSION. THESE ARE THE COMPANIES WHO KEEP THESE BASTARDS ON OUR PUBLIC AIRWAVES, WHICH WE OWN BY THE WAY, AND THEY MAKE BILLIONS EVERY YEAR FROM IT. THEY DON'T GET ANY OF MY MONEY, THAT'S FOR DAMN SURE. UNBELIEVABLY, THESE POLITICIANS IN WASHINGTON AND OBAMA MAKE SURE THESE TV AND RADIO STATIONS, AND MANY OF THE NEWSPAPERS GET MILLIONS OF TAX DOLLARS EVERY YEAR IN SUBSIDIES AND PRIVILEGED ADVERTISING. IT’S SICK, CORRUPT AND APPALLING, AND IT‘S SOMETHING THEY DON‘T WANT THE PUBLIC KNOWING ABOUT.
OPEN YOUR EYES BEFORE THIS ‘PLAGUE ON AMERICA’ INFECTS US ALL.
IF YOU DON'T STAND FOR SOMETHING, THEN YOU ARE BOUND TO FALL FOR ANYTHING.
I AM SO ORGASMIC, ELATED, AND THRILLED THESE NEWSPAPERS AROUND THE COUNTRY ARE CLOSING UP. WORDS JUST CAN'T DESCRIBE HOW HAPPY I AM. NOW WE NEED TO TEACH THE TV AND RADIO NETWORKS A LESSON THEY WILL NEVER FORGET

ha! I cancelled the Oakland Tribune when they declared in a below the fold headline" Dems Bare Fangs at Alito Hearing" and the article went on to to talk about the mild questioning that took place - heaven forbid vetting candidates! Please! I laugh at the talking heads who talk about the liberal press - a little thoughtfulness and awareness could go a long way for us all. The only place I 've gotten information in the last few years is the editorials and letter to the editors. Many newspapers have become as vapid as People Magazine for preteens. Who needs it. And sadly, I am sorry

It's too bad newspapers are going out of business too. They serve several functions, not the least of which is giving more news coverage than a person can get from the TV.
