Newspapers are Doomed

As a conservative my instinct is to gloat about the unfolding destruction of the newspaper industry. They’ve been spouting the Democratic Party line for a long time now, and I kind of like to see them take a boot to the teeth. At the same time, I love newspapers, and I don’t want them to see them go. The Rocky Mountain News will die on Friday, and the San Francisco Chronicle looks like it may be breathing its last as well. This is sad. There’s got to be a way to make the newspaper business work.
