It belongs on the pile with the Washington Post, the New York TImes, the Chicago Tribune and dozens of others.

Newspapers died decades ago, but their media footprint and influence remains. Its time for that to end.

The internet is still available as a tool for getting the truth out there, even if steps are constantly underway to reduce or capture that too.

Journalism was once (and should be in the future) an honorable trade and essential service to society. As it is now, captive and slave to ownership, bullshit and propaganda at the highest, most famous levels, it is worth less than the piss my cats stink up their liter box with....at least the cat piss serves a purpose in keeping them alive and giving me the companionship and love they do...the press? Fuck them, cowards and influence seekers. I have nothing but total disdain for them all.
