The reductions in newsroom and reporting staffs do provide several positives:

A. Valerie Jarrett has to sign off on fewer news stories before they are released.

B. The listen-only dial-in conference call, or spin session, the WH arranges each day does not have to have as many lines.

C. Jay Carney gets more more to deliver his snide, condescending remarks since there are fewer reporters in the press room.

D. By the end of 2013, the news media will be able to subcontract all of its reporting on Obama to the WH, saving the financially stressed media millions in salaries and benefits,

LOL, #1. You could write for Letterman.

News flash, AP. You´re losing readers and the tv outlets are losing viewers, because the low info´s aren´t watching. They get their news from Entertainment Tonight. And the viewers who are engaged aren´t buying your products anymore. Try actually doing investigating reporting and you MIGHT regain some of those views/readers. But I doubt it. Once you lose credibility and trust, it´s hard to get it back.

Even in their death throes, the MSM doesn´t get it. Never once in this story is bias in the media mentioned. Consumers, including me, are telling the MSM that we have had enough, and we are leaving for good. Thank goodness for Lucianne.

No biggie. Aren´t we getting most of the real news from foreign sources ?

Don´t go changin´ we love you just the way you are.
Half dead and on your way to total extinction.

Media, in the words of Bill Maher,you may have lost me. Is this the bugle sounding on the last rites?

What a joke. What difference does it make how many reporters or staffers you have making your news better if it´s all being lip synced to the Obama tune.

Cash strapped businesses cut back on advertising in hard times to save money.So Obama´s economic policies are ironically hurting his media mouthpiece organizations.

There´s also a big move to internet advertising which is killing the dinosaur media.This is how Google is getting incredibly rich.

Instead of newspapers cutting advertising rates,they raise them causing more lost customers.This is pure liberal thinking as are paywalls.

The Arse Press use of the word "Journalism" in the headline is an oxymoron.

Almost all of the media has a liberal slant, and you can´t always tell which stuff is true, which is a lie.

Would you go to a doctor who made up stuff?

I cancelled my WSJ subscription in 2008. Writer James Taranto was hurling insults at people who wanted to see obamas raised seal birth certificate. I only pay for info that educates me, not insults my intelligence.

Awwwh. Cry me a river.

This, from the Ape Pee while it circles the drain. Another dirty little secret is that most of your local network affiliate TV stations could not survive were if not for political add revenue every two years.

They have the cause and effect switched. What quality there was, was gone long before the cuts.

idiots!! People are not watching because due do their liberal bias can´t trust what the report. Even Leberals know this. Why trust a media source that looks the view in the eye and tells them not to believe their lying eyes when it comes liberal bias.

The sad truth the solution for the media is simple. They don´t have to change how they report, just admit their liberal bias. Of course admitting the truth is the one thing they can´t bring themselves to do.
