Newspapers

As long as the internet lives and people can log onto it, newpapers and magazines will continue their slow but definite decline.

I was getting a free newspaper each Sunday for some time. It was a promotion. A sample of the wares offered by the Dallas Morning News to entice me to subscribe.

At one point I was tempted to call them and insist they quit littering my lawn every Sunday morning. I decided the newpaper was still useful as packing material.

I get my news from the internet. Either Google or Yahoo. Is that good? I have no idea but that is what I do. It certainly is convenient. Each morning I get up, turn on the computer, check the headlines on Google to determine if I should go back to bed or stay up.

Newspapers no longer deal in news. They deal in history. Even then they sometimes get it wrong.

We have one paper, one editorial opinion, both giving a historical recap of what used to be news. Why should I pay money to someone who may be trying to propagandize me?

Okay, I will subscribe to the newspaper but only if they pay me.
