The nauseatingly left wing rag from Britain, The Guardian, is apparently experiencing financial trouble just like most of the old dinosaur media.

"When the day comes that the newspapers are forced to stop printing altogether," he writes,

    "...it will be a disaster for democracy."   ::smallestviolin::

I've been wating for rags like the RedStar et al to die a natural death for some time, I still have not purchased a paper since my tiff with a RedStar editor years ago who selectively editied one of my submissions.  The sooner all those liberal rags die the better.
