It's YOUR OWN FAULT for LYING TO US!!!!!
"Facts and figures, myths and mantras" by Ellen Goodman | December 4, 2009
I have “news’’ for you. When the reporters go, so do the facts. And their checkers....
And it will be a GLORIOUS DAY and a GREAT NEW WORLD because WE WILL HAVE FINALLY WON!! Btw, what does she think I am doing here all day long?
Those of us who have spent our lives in journalism wake up to daily reports of troubles: newsrooms cut, papers bankrupt. My first employer, Newsweek, no longer covers news. My second, the Detroit Free Press, has cut back home delivery. I have watched my third employer, The Boston Globe, grow and shrink....

Gee, no problem expanding the self-serving, self-promoting sports section, 'eh?
"From the moment the Times Co. purchased The Globe in 1993, it has treated New England's largest newspaper like a cheap whore"
Maybe the LIES have more to do with newspapers problems, you arrogant elitist!
And CLIMATEGATE is NOT HELPING YOU at all!!!
And now they are going to want to CHARGE ME TWICE for the LIES?
"Murdoch calls online fees key" by Associated Press | December 2, 2009
WASHINGTON - To thrive in the digital age, media companies need to persuade consumers to pay for news online by providing compelling information in any form they want, News Corp. chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch said yesterday.
You guys are NOT PROVIDING THAT so why should we PAY for it?
Murdoch said the future is promising for publishers that can adapt to the ongoing migration of audiences and advertisers to the Web. Key to survival, he said, is giving consumers what they want how they want it - be it on a computer, mobile device, or e-reader - and then charging for it, as his company already does with The Wall Street Journal.
That has been TRIED by the NYT already and FAILED!
How about GIVING US the TRUTH for ONCE, and not some agenda-pushing garbage, Rupe?!!!
“We need to do a better job of persuading consumers that high-quality, reliable news and information does not come free,’’ Murdoch said. “Good journalism is an expensive commodity.’’
No, it does not (costs a $1.50 a day, 44 on Sunday if I get it)-- and it is NOT a PR CAMPAIGN!! YOU GUYS ALREADY LOST THAT because of the LIES!!!
As for the "good journalism," you SURE AIN'T FINDING THAT in an AmeriKan newspaper!!!
Calling "news" a "commodity" pretty much describes the mindset and explains Fox's news choices. It's not about truth, it's about $$$ -- even if you have to lie.
So they are covering ClimateGate, big deal. They owe us in triplicate for the war lies and all the other garbage they spew.
Murdoch’s comments were part of a wide-ranging discussion at a Federal Trade Commission workshop exploring the profound challenges facing media companies and ways the government can help them survive.
So much for your FREE PRESS, AmeriKa!
Then again, it has been a STATE-SANCTIONED MOUTHPIECE for YEARS!!!
Newspapers, broadcasters, and other media companies are in economic distress as the growth of online revenue has failed to keep pace with declines in the offline advertising that has long supported their operations....
Because NO ONE LIKES a LIAR!!!!!!
While media executives came to the two-day workshop looking for new business models, government officials were seeking ways to protect a critical pillar of democracy - a free press....
Well, WHEN THEY FIND ONE let us know, 'kay?
They CERTAINLY CAN NOT MEAN AmeriKan propaganda sheets?
Oh, THAT is why they want to make sure the newspapers are SAVED!!!!!
Among the options being discussed: tax law changes and copyright law changes that would force search engines and other online aggregrators to compensate media companies for the content they produce.
How much would you pay for s***?
Personally, I think $1.50 is too much.
They should be PAYING YOU to READ their LYING, DIVISIVE, WAR-MONGERING, AGENDA-PUSHING CRAP!
