Michael Moore, He cites how advertising funds our papers while other countries' papers are supported more by circulation. Corporate paper conglomerates squeezed the papers dry of money and then let them die away.

With 40 million adults who cannot read above a forth or fifth grade level
And another 40 million who can read and write about a forth grade level but don't have the comprehension,the 17 elections between 1940 and 2004 newspapers endorsed the republican candidate for President 14 of the 17 elections
Newspapers endorsed 14 of the 17 candidates who promised to cut back on the very thing newspapers rely on the most, Business Advertizing ?
No, Literacy and education, Because these republican candidates they endorsed hate the Dept. of Education, They hate the Teachers Unions and they hate the idea of Public Education for all.
These newspapers cut their own throats
He equates it to GM supporting candidates who were against driver's education.
How smart would that be? Bout as smart as Newspapers supporting candidates that would see to it that
more than 80 million Americans would have little use for a newspaper.
Good Riddance, They say now, But whatta you say Newspapers ?
Notice too that the list of things they hate are limited to the topic at hand
Otherwise we'd be in some serious bandwidth debt here.
Now, How about a labor beat comparable to the Business Section ?
