On Reliable Sources, NY Times' Tanenhaus "lament[s] the decline" of conservative publications

Is he kidding ?

Hell, conservatives have managed to get a voice in most mainstream publications. Maybe that's why other publications have declined.

In Pittsburgh, Richard Scaife is battling the IRS over his daily newspaper because it loses millions a year and can no longer be written off as a business loss under the "hobby rule"

it's funny how some conservative media (radio and tv) is thriving, yet National Review never made a profit and other publications are failing. Maybe this proves conservatives don't read

Thats funny, someone from the Times lamenting about the decline of any publication at all. I think it is time for him to look in his own shop.

Based on the posts here, I heard something entirely different in the video.

Tanenhaus laments the decline of conservative publications based on how radicalized they've become, and have moved away from main-stream conservative values.

These publications are no longer main-stream conservative outlets. They are aligning themselves with non-issues like Obama's place of birth.

If I have the correct read on this, then I agree with Tanenhaus.

I have come to the conclusion that the Republicans have collected a base of ignorant, stupid people willing to swallow the bilge coming from these media outlets.

This has happened to such an extent that I now call the Republican party, the party of stupid.

The Wall Street Journal used to be a conservative newspaper and a journal of American business.Today it is just a pile of hate filled editorials by Rove,Limbaugh,etc,etc,using the Journal's past integrity to past garbage off as true news.Many of their articles are propaganda pieces having nothing to do with business.There is more than a resemblence to the so called conservative(republican) propaganda machine and KGB propaganda methods.There are dangerous conections between the two,that work against the American people.It needs to be exposed
