Too many...
Maybe newspapers need to change how they show...news/info on them! They are getting so old, that for people who really want to know the news, they can get it elsewhere for cheaper. The good thing about a newspaper is the "extras" you get with it, like special discounts fliers, comedy section, local job listings, etc. Everything else is old, especially by the time it takes to print them out. Times are changing.

If James Murdoch is any relation to Rupert, then he's probably lying.

Yes it is as he did take over Daddies business

The guy is pointing out that times are changing, I haven't read a newspaper in several years myself. Personally I think it's a great thing.

Perhaps they may even go broke and that would be welcomed down under.

I think the writing is on the wall that the future of all print media, save, possibly, books, is in mobile devices such as the ipad and e-readers.

I think there are too many people who like to have a nice hard-bound book on the self, but with magazines and newspapers, there's no real reason to waste the paper and ink on them. When magazines and newspapers are primarily in digital media, which I think will happen sooner, rather than later, then I'll be ready to buy an ipad or similar device.

The entire Murdoch family can die in a fire for all I care.

Because that entire family is the closest thing to evil. They destroy the integrity of media and are the opposite of anything resembling truth.

And hence my point is proven. ;)

But it's more than Foxnews...it's their entire families MO, they do it to every business they buy. Give it a few more years for example and you'll see all the journalistic integrity that remains at the WSJ disappear too. ;)

Can you say it's objective journalism?

No, but none of it is objective, People hate Murdoch because he's conservative. You don't see the same amount hate for Ted Turner.

Same here. Fox skews to the right for sure and I am not a Republican, but 90% of the other media outlets all slant left and kiss up the Anointed One regardless of what happens. Personally, I can only take so many condescending liberation theology learning moments, calls for class warfare via redistribution of wealth, and sales pitches for nationalizing America's remaining institutions. Also, since I'm not a Socialist nor an American Progressive intent on apologizing to the world for everything wrong in it, and don't believe we can spend our way out of trouble, Fox makes the most sense to me.

Anyhow, back on topic... I like newspapers and have them delivered to my house twice a week. It's a good way to get coupons, local news and local events all wrapped up into a convenient and condensed package that I can toss into a trash can when I'm done. They work much better than electronics when heavy wet snow knocks the power out, like it did on Saturday.

There's hate on both sides, just as equally. It's sad really.
