The BLOGS have WON!!!!!
"Use of Internet to follow White House race doubles
The Internet now plays a central role in US politics, with nearly half of all Americans using it and other new media to follow the presidential campaign, according to a study released yesterday.
The study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project found that 17 percent of adults scoured political websites, read campaign e-mails and text messages, or otherwise used the Internet every day to keep up with the campaign (Reuters June 16, 2008)."

Thanks for coming, readers.

NEW YORK - McClatchy Co., owner of the Miami Herald and 29 other daily newspapers, will cut about 1,400 jobs, or 10 percent of its workforce, to save $70 million annually after a record drop in industrywide advertising sales.
NOBODY likes a LIAR!!!!
The reductions are part of a plan to cut costs as much as $100 million in the next four quarters, Sacramento-based McClatchy said yesterday. The Miami Herald plans to eliminate 250 positions, or 17 percent of its staff, and the Charlotte Observer will cut 123 positions, or 11 percent, the newspapers reported.
Tribune Co. and The New York Times Co., which owns The Boston Globe, have also reduced staff to save money as companies that historically advertised in newspapers shift their spending to the Internet.
Why does that make me SO HAPPY, readers?
Newspaper print ad sales slumped 14 percent in the first quarter, the Newspaper Association of America said Friday.
"This is a permanent downsizing of newspaper companies," said Ken Doctor, a media analyst at Outsell Inc. in Burlingame, Calif. "They're not using the word 'permanent,' but it's a recognition that they will get much smaller as they try to find their way in a digital world."
Ad sales at McClatchy, which also publishes the Sacramento Bee, fell 17 percent in May after a 15 percent decline in the first quarter. The company was hurt by the housing market slump in California and Florida, where it owns eight daily newspapers. Real estate and automotive classifieds both fell about 38 percent in May, the company said in a separate statement....
Tribune plans job reductions after disclosing this month it will eliminate about 500 pages a week from its newspapers, including the Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune. The New York Times cut 100 newsroom positions in May...."So the SHIT PAPERS are going to get EVEN SHITTIER!!!

AmeriKa's Media and Internet Truth-Tellers
AmeriKan MSM Can't Compete With Blogs
"The media which has printed these lies and presented the horrors of the day according to the angle desired by those who operate it have become their own worst enemy. They are daily providing the evidence that they lie. Truth tellers on the internet are turning over every rock they tried to bury the truth beneath."
That's why the MSM PAPERS are FAILING!!!!!
