Newspaper going out of business - bailout? NO!

Bail out newspapers? Not only no, but HELL NO!

Newspapers are dinosaurs - they are being replaced by electronic information. Their demise is simply a fact of technology. Toaster ovens are gone because of microwaves. Video tapes are gone because of DVD's. Albums and cassette tapes are gone because of CD's. The examples are nearly endless. Newspapers are no longer needed, should not get a dime of taxpayer money and need to change and adapt or go out of business. Simple market-based economic rules here.

I personally get my news from TV, the computer and my Blackberry. I've read one newspaper in the last six months. There is no reason to "save" newspapers. Good bye!
