You think that's a good or bad thing? Print media being dead that is.

Fox is doing well. So is Rush. The argument that bias hurts appears bogus. Anyway, what were you basing your accusation of bias at the Rocky Mountain news on?

150 years of "bias" before it finally got 'em!

I was a Denver Post reader myself. Love Woody Paige's sports commentary. It's is sad news that the Rocky Mountain News is closing down. End of a legacy. I read that the Philadelphia enquirer has filed for bankruptcy as well. I would think that the newspapers would migrate to the internet and fill their subscriptions that way, though I doubt they would get their ad revenue via online. I get all my news via the Internet.

I read on the net too, but I love getting my NYT everyday.

San Fran Chronicle is in trouble, too.That would leave San Fran without a local paper! 2 major Philly publications in trouble.

Sad state of affairs.

Fox and Rush arent print media.

As to the RMN being biased I will have to admit it was an assumption. When I said that I meant print media in general.

Someone put it best in that their buisness model is 'broken' and the revenue stream is drying up.

I have a good friend whom works in the advertising end of the buisness. He prepares the ads you see for car dealers and such. He tells me buisness is way off and is busy studying html and other such things so that he has something to fall back on.
