I don't know why anyone would still buy a newspaper. Forget the annoyance of trying to hold around six square feet of paper and the constant ink on your fingers. Why would anyone want to be spoon fed their news by a media with an obvious political agenda? Even the best papers don't exceed an 8th grade reading level. Why would you want to support a business that treats you like a moron?

You can buy a top of the line smartphone for the price of a one year newspaper subscription. Think for yourself and go find your own news.

Grandmaster, a lot of people read the paper just for the sports section and regardless of political slant it's difficult to be spoonfed bias about how the Redskins played last night. Millions of people still buy papers and they aren't going away any time soon, but even if they do journalism won't and neither will news.
