Jesse Brown: Save the newspaper
This is funny and sad when you have a newspaper career somewhere in your past and can still recall once having some sort of passionate feeling about them. Then you remember the incredibly thick-headed herd of corporate executive types who were basically doing news rags in faster than any other force ever could hope to, and that thing that could have saved them (the web) was looked at suspiciously by the majority of this same cadre of non-contributing mouth breathers who didn’t spend any time in news rooms and who could only imagine the possibilities of online distribution in terms of an outmoded, outdated business model that had been used for decades to erode independent journalism in favor of higher quarterly profits and car advertising inserts.
When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross.
