There will always be journalism in some form. What we currently have in print is nothing more than infotainment and/or shills for status quo. My brother asked whom he could believe (in getting his information), and I said, nobody. I actually prefer the tabloids to the traditional media because at least the former are honest about what they’re doing. The latter? Not so much. As for pasty puffy boy, I will not read him ever again. I rely on the kindness of strangers for my shorter Douthat.</p> And this is why I really don’t give a crap if print media ceases completely.

our family is happy, blessed with the joys of life and the capacity to handle the sorrows.
But it just recently sunk in as we begin our (forced) retirement years, that educated beyond our salaries we, unlike our parents, have never been middleclass…we always thought we were but our income never reached middleclass!
The inability of so many Americans to share is crime of our country.

Except for Buckley it was satire and the PLP<br /> is serious.</p> Sounds like the PLP just read Boomsday by Christopher Buckley.

Journalists got themselves into this mess by clinging to the past as technology threatened to pass them by.

It has nothing to do with them trying to pass off propaganda as news…

Woodstock Nation. Best people ever.
