Newspaper circulation

The latest newspaper circulation numbers are out and it doesn't look good for the business.

But once again, it's interesting that the media largely ignores some basic facts.

The more liberal a newspaper is perceived to be, the uglier the decline.

Most liberal paper in the US, the NY Times is down 3.9 percent. The WSJ, considered to be the US's most conservative paper, up .4 percent.

What exactly is so "progressive" about going out of business?

You can force people to buy what they dont want to read.

I can see more coupons or stuff that makes you want the paper. I can't see them writing more objectively.
