GERARD VAN DER LEUN won’t miss the Post-Intelligencer.
What we will never hear is that their editorial policies and news slanting were part and parcel of their demise. We will never hear about the willed insults, slights, and snubbing of fully half of their potential circulation pool. Journalists and editors write a lot about “taking personal responsibility” when it comes to others. You never hear them write that about themselves. There’s no mea culpa among liberal newspaper journalists these days. There’s only ...
“Save the newspapers”
Belmont Club —
... exist today. My own guess is that while Pelosi may get Holder to let the Chronicle set up its Bay Area monopoly, for political and ideological reasons if nothing else, in the long run the solution to the newspaper crisis lies elsewhere. In news systems and industries. The old ways are over. If people can accept that about parts of the financial system, why not the newspapers? And many of them shoveled themselves into the grave, little guessing the world had changed around them. As Gerard Vanderleun put it: What we will never hear is that their editorial policies and news ...

Not Waiting For The Asteroid
small dead animals —
Not Waiting For The Asteroid [image] The death of the P.I. and its "life in death" on the Web is only the second in a trend that will grow. And as the other papers fail into the Web we will hear, again and again, about the Internet, about Craigslist, about The Drudge Report, and a hundred other reasons these papers are dead. What we will never hear is that their editorial policies and news slanting were part and parcel of their demise. We will never hear about the willed insults, slights, and snubbing of fully half of their potential circulation pool. Journalists and editors ...

... too. Well, you’d think so. But let’s face it: the mainstream press has, in many cases, given up even the appearance of objectivity and have become instead “advocacy” journalists. That their “advocacy” is almost entirely in support of the progressive agenda is just, like, a coincidence . So what should be a big deal really isn’t all that much of a big deal, at least not to the ideologues involved. Oh. And also, HOW DARE YOU QUESTION OUR PATRIOTISM!
