Reason # 1,643 Why The News Media is Losing Money, Credibility & Influence

You can add newpapers too!

 Here’s another example of why the print media is going the way of the Dodo Bird and the Saber Tooth Tiger. This is no slight on Mr. Bates over at the Batesline blog (even though he still ignores us – even after we bought an ad on his blog in ‘07!) but for the Tulsa World to go through all the time, expense and effort to sue a blog for libel that gets an average of 750 hits – when your readership is in the thousands – sure sounds crazy to us!

With the newspaper industry bleeding money like a stuffed pig, maybe Mr. Lorton should consider saving a little of that money to send to W.A.D. Edmondson’s gubernatorial campaign. It’s almost that time to pony up again.

Congratulations Mr. Bates, these idiots have just made you famous!
