At the founding of our nation, newspapers were the only medium that was able to give the news on a daily basis. They, the publishers and reporters served the publics interest in reporting on the events of the day.
Now, newspapers are nothing more than shills for the interest of the corporations that own them and they do not serve the interests of the public. Reporting of the news, real investigative journalism, does not happen, for should the paper rock the boat with reportage that is real and honest, the corporate sponsors will remove the sources of income that are necessary for the paper to run and give us the pablum that passes for news these days. 
Very few if any, websites and papers, are sources of real news and the days events, happen without so much as a word being said about them.
It is an appalling state of affairs, in these times of “war” and devastation, that we cannot access the news in any form.  Roger Mudd, spoke of the glory days of news in a lecture that can be seen on http://fora.tv/.  It is representative of the kind of news reporting that was taking place during the late 50’s and 60’s into the early 70’s.
Should there ever be a real news source again, either in print or on television, I will be the first to shout out loud the return of news and its concomitant sharing of the knowledge that we, the people need to run this country.  For we are the one’s who are responsible for the mess we are in, allowing all the preceding events to take place.  If and when, we the people wake up, and again demand the real news from the press, I then believe that this country will be reformed and we will be again a country that is looked at as a haven for freedom and liberty.

Readership would skyrocket.
I hate haveing to search the Web for the Real Story. Even the so Called “liberal” Sites fail to really investigate the truth,skimming along the top or lying though Omissions, placating those who think the Truth has Been dug. yes Truthdig,Et Tu! Huffington Post is a Prime Example of ‘glossing Over’ and distraction. Arianna still works for the NeoCons- she’s just a covert operative throwing crumbs to appear liberal and ‘intune’.The Mcclellan Bs is a prime example- All Hail Scotty for trying to cover W’s Ass!Smoke & Mirrors, dog & Pony, paper and Promises..Just More Useless shit and Lies!
newspapers want to have a chance of survival- hand US what we Want- easy access to investigative Reporting- digging deep into controversaies and propaganda,Collecting and Coordinating the Facts to help bring Corrrupt ‘Public Servants’ and Corp top Brass to justice.
I’d buy paper instead of handing my money to Comcast et al for the convenience of not having to sift theough the numerous BS Sites for a little Truth.
” I sick & tired of hearing things
from uptight, short sighted , narrow minded hypocrtics
just gimme some truth
I’ve had enough of reading things
By neurotic,psychotic,pig headed politicians
all I want is some Truth
Just gimme some Truth
No short haired, yellow bellied SON OF TRICKY DICKY
Is gonna Mother Hubbard,soft soap me…..”
John Lennon Imagine…Like 1971!!!!

Objective journalism is only found on the internet anymore. 

The newspapers sold their integrity along time ago.
