Yep, Those Elite Newspaper People are Dumb.

From the comments on a post at Knox News.

The problem with newspapers (and I’m a former newspaper editor and publisher) is that you folks think we can’t detect when your news columns are being used to foist your agenda on us.

We’re much smarter than you think we are, and that you think we’re dumb merely reveals your arrogance. So, while we are not necessarily cheering your demise, we’re snickering because you’re getting what’s coming to you.

We see you bashing conservatives, while liberals committing similar sins go un-commented upon. We’re not stupid. We know that you are the “deciders” about what’s news and what’s swept under the rug. You tell us often enough.

So, we’ve moved on. Opinions are a dime a dozen. I can find myriad voices online to feed me my opinion back to me. If you think I’m going to pay money for yours, you’re sadly mistaken. Your just one voice amongst thousands of them out there. Why should I pay good money for your opinion?

You also forgot that half your advertisers are conservatives who have decided maybe they don’t want to fund your little Democrat Party Propoganda sheet any longer, and so they’ve found other more creative ways to spend their ad budgets.

If you tell people to f*ck off enough times, they eventually will, taking their ad revenue with them.

Good luck in your retirement. I suspect that if it took you this long to finally detect the desire amongst your few remaining subscribers for “just the facts” that it’s far too late to save you.

    It certainly is nice to see that people are waking up. Most comments to that article were along the same lines as this one. Hell, five years ago even, you searched in vein for the “everyday man” who got it. Now I think most of us see what is coming down the pike, we are all just about 60 odd years too late.

    Yes, it’s good to see that some folks are starting to wake up – but it’s not penetrated the skulls of others. Here’s the headlines I found earlier online.

    HIV/AIDS Rate in D.C. Hits 3%
    Considered a ‘Severe’ Epidemic, Every Mode of Transmission Is Increasing, City Study Finds

    At least 3 percent of District residents have HIV or AIDS, a total that far surpasses the 1 percent threshold that constitutes a “generalized and severe” epidemic, according to a report scheduled to be released by health officials tomorrow.
    ……………….

    Let’s stop and consider. Obama is basically (with his abortion policies) waging a low keyed genocidal war against black and minorities, and yet they’ve overwhelmingly voted for him. Drugs are flooding the inner cities, but the poor riot in favor of open borders and are to stupid to use a condom. It’s all the white man’s fault though, just as the inner city un-employed minority – as he slams that spike into his arm and rapes his ‘lady’. The only positive thing about this news report is that it’s in DC. We can only hope a few of our prestigious legislatures catch a good dose and leave office. Come on Nancy, you can do it…!

    Funniest thing I’ve read this week.
