It's certainly not because they've lost their value. this person has their head in the sand. of course the newspapers have lost their value. At one time we thought they were fair and balanced. Newspapers were expected to present both sides on controversial items. Now like philly inquirer we have an extreme liberal editorial board. A board one day after the problem at the prison in Iraq demanded in full a page editorial the resignation of Rumsfeld. I thought these editors of newspaper were supposed to be the best in the business. they were the mentors of other journalists and new ones coming on. but when they repeatedly take the liberal side in elections, and emotions run over a prison scandal to the point the editorial board asks for the resignation of our secretary of defense without investigation we do not need to purchase their papers. Newsweek is a perfect example of the professional business of journalists gone a muck. they are so screwed up in their point of view it seems no direction is being taken to provide balance and caution in what they report. We have other alternatives today to keep abreast of the news.
