Another view of the “Decline and Fall of Newspapers” (to continue an earlier thread):
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2022/08/04/the_decline_and_fall_of_newspapers_147991.html
H/T Powerline blog
Key grafs:
‘Online news is now readily available, much of it free.
‘The instant availability of online news means that tomorrow’s print edition is already “old news”…
‘…This technological shift actually encourages newsroom bias. Why? Because, as online sites proliferate, readers can easily gravitate to those that reflect their views. This self-selection reinforces the sites’ incentives to tailor their content to keep those users and attract more like-minded ones.
‘In this segmented market, with lots of different niches, news organizations pick their target audience…. The problem for journalism is that this “niche” logic has distorted general-interest papers, like the Los Angeles Times. It gives free rein to ideological bias among reporters and editors….
‘…The logic behind this bias is powerful. All of us are attracted to sites that confirm our views and buttress them with friendly content. Social scientists call it “confirmation bias.”….
‘…Most outlets have slipped into comfortable ideological niches.
‘The result is landscape littered with “news silos,” each appealing to its chosen market segment…. This insularity is bound to deepen our country’s ideological divide. That’s very bad news indeed. ‘

(Such fabulous DISTRACTIONS are why we can be absolutely sure that “the country is NOT going through a recession…” and absolutely sure that the 2020 election was NOT stolen…and absolutely sure that the southern border is CLOSED…and absolutely sure that CRT is NOT being taught in our classrooms…and MORE THAN absolutely sure that “Biden” is striving for UNITY, etc., etc…. )

Several more crises, which “Biden” along with the wonderful, talented folks at the WTF are surely cherishing….

Sad news: Jackie Walorski (R-IN) and two of her staffers were killed in a car crash shortly after noon today. The driver of the other car was also killed. The investigation into the cause of the crash is ongoing.

Rep. Walorski is survived by her husband.

Just read at AoS the robber being shot by a store owner in L.A. The good news so far is that they arrested the robbers (the one shot and 3 accomplices) and leaving the 80 year old shop owner alone, although he suffered a heart attack and is expected to pull through. A few things I noticed in the video: Robber is armed with what Democrats claim is an assault rifle (long rifle with pistol grip and large magazine cartridge). He has it up at the ready looking along the barrel. The shop owner grabs a shotgun, aims it, and shoots the robber's arm. A good guy with a gun stopped a bad guy with an assault rifle. The robber flees in a car, excuse me a BMW X3, with his buddies. So you know he was just trying to feed his family. Neighbors praised shop owner.
