Internet Kills LA Times National Edition

Doc Ruby writes "The LA Times announced that it is folding its national edition on 12/31/04. The Times spokesperson said the paper's mission has been to reach 'key Washington, D.C., and New York audiences,' and that 'other electronic ways of reaching those audiences became more plentiful.' The folding edition will be replaced by "remote printing" by NewspaperDirect, and their email highlights, Top of the Times. Is this the way all our newspapers will be going?"

BOTH? Is the world limited to two viewpoints now?

No. Just the US. Fisher's Deduction: "The more issues a person crudely shoehorns down into a liberal/conservative dichotomy, the more certain you can be that the person is an American"

To me, the murder of children -- wherever it occurs -- secures a higher priority of national concern than some dog yapping at the feet a naked terrorist.

So are you planning your trip to Sudan soon to save all the children there? No? Oh, so you only care to KNOW about children being murdered. Well that doesn't help much, does it? Especially not as much as KNOWING when government officials screw up, because unlike Saddam or the murders in Dafar our government changes its behavior when public ridicule embarrasses it internationally. Oh well, the great part about 2004 is that you can log on to Foxnews.com and find out every bad thing Saddam did wrong, and I can count on liberal national papers to embarrass our leaders (who deserve it by way of their actions) internationally and force them to change their wrong behavior.
