Have you ever heeard of "Yellow Journalism?" To claim that newspapers were informative and imply that they told something approximating the truth is to ignore history.
And yes, they had ads then, too. Remember, the US was once much more purely capitalistic that it is now.
Also, keep in mind that there are still some quality radio shows being broadcast. PBS and the like do play some good programs.
Yes, all two megs of it. And its probably using some kind of MRU+nearby blocks anyway. (Drive cache algorithms are very very well kept secrets). This is more helpful than it sounds, but not much.

That said, I agree with a lot of what you said.
