   A cry from the comic syndications falling on the deaf ears of the newspaper publication’s financial considerations.

   …the Republican Party wants all to lose the ability to read and write…“keep ’em dumb” I think is their motto.

   If comics went away, I wouldn’t bother with the paper at all.

   Very often the newspaper version of the comic skips a panel that is vital to understanding or appreciating the whole story – the online version is always complete.

    Truth in journalism… I subscribe to my papers online ( for which I pay a modest monthly fee ), thereby helping to keep the local newspaper going while saving trees.
    This is how newspapers will survive in the future. Front section dedicated to local news and editorials, with national and world news stories taken off the wire and relegated to the second section. Sports, Classified, Comics, and Special Sections will still be there. Advertisers are recognizing that they can still get the exposure online so it’s a win-win !

    It seems Garry Trudeau is unfamiliar with the world of webcomics.

    @simpsonfan2

    Ever since I found the comics online, I DON’T bother with a newspaper anymore.

    Newspapers and other periodicals have to function in a marketplace where potential customers are perfectly free to refuse the purchase of their product.
    
    

    Being overwhelmingly overtly left-“Liberal,” these news media people either lack education in how markets really operate, or are in effectively psychotic denial of these phenomena, and have therefore failed to realize that their publications are – in the main – not pleasing their customer base enough to make themselves a “value” proposition, and therefore they’ve been continuously losing circulation among the demographic groups which their most desirable advertisers are seeking.
    
    

    How might they manage to establish themselves as worthwhile, trustworthy, and reliable conduits of information relevant to the customer bases necessary for their survival and return to prosperity after decades of schtupping the schnauzer?
    
    

    Why, they’ve got to abandon their leftie-luzer “Liberal” political bigotries and start informing the population about how the national economy came to be so deep in the abyss instead of parroting government lies about how peachy-keen everything is. They’ve got to take up real investigative journalism again, hammering the Democrats even harder than they’ve been attacking the Republicans (while never ceasing to kick Red Faction tochus, of course), and start punishing their beloved TelePrompTer-in-Chief for his myriad foul-ups instead of slobbering all over his loafers.
    
    

    In short, they’ve got to start behaving like the Fifth Estate rather than the Democrat Party’s freebie public relations machine.
