clipped from vdare.com January 28, 20098 Slim Times For American Newspapers. Good! By Peter Gadiel American newspapers are dying. Let us celebrate, since in their extinction lies the only hope for journalism—and (as I will illustrate via my recent experience with the Gannett-owned Asbury [NJ] Park Press) for the patriotic immigration reform so desperately needed by the American nation. In former Times (that’s Times with a capital "T") it would have been unthinkable to say such a thing. Newspapers were journalism and journalism was newspapers. But those days are long gone, and it’s not just because of talk radio and the internet. What we have in these Times are newspapers engaging in the fraud of providing propaganda in the guise of journalism. Until these publications disappear, journalism as we once knew it can’t make a comeback.
