Capitalism also killed the wagon wheel making industry. Capitalism must die!
Good point. We trade our news over the internets. If it were the newspapers old way we would be trading clippings by US mail.
But local news will be less available in any print with even less discovery and investigation. Forums like this will be more the way the community gets the buzz.
Moore's right about public education getting screwed over by Republicans. That's the point. And the newspapers did slit their own throats by supporting candidates that would destroy the newspapers very own literate clients through thinning their ranks. Look at who speaks for the Republican Party. They carry placards and do talk radio and Faux News. Not exactly newspaper readers they seem to be catering to.
BTW, isn't this the one year anniversary when capitalism got real shaky? Not so sure it's fully recovered or will slip into a relapse. It's all about confidence. Let's hope POTUS OBAMA can lead us through and past the illiterates onto a solid recovery! The interceder Bernake and the subsequent stimulus was good government.
Capitalism had to be bled. It must not die but at the same time it must not abuse the masses of literates and illiterates.
