The Decline begins, starting with the News
News. Ha ha. You can gloat all you want that the news media is taking it in the shorts, but an ignorant populace is a controlled populace and local newspapers are far less likely to perpetuate the spin of the larger national chains. This is bad news - especially for rural America where true patriots still thrive.
For the elitists, this is fantastic "news" - pun intended - as it strengthens their Pravda like grip on the national media outlets.

Here in Butte the local daily is the Montana Standard (a Lee Ent. paper), and what you say is true--occasionally a glimmer of truth gets through the leftist slant, especially when they actually report the exact comments of elected officials (and Montana does have a few good ones--US Rep Rosendale and State Atty Gen Austin Knudsen to name two). The trouble is that such truth is rare, even in small city newspapers.
I could get the digital Standard for $1 / 6 months but my time is better used elsewhere, even if it was free. These shockingly low prices just show that traditional media has lost its credibility--and no one has time for something that isn't credible.
I guess my NAP needs a little tweaking.
