Default Really???

I think the reason newspapers all over are cutting back pages, and in this case entire editions, is that they are receiving too much ad revenue, and simply don't know what to do with all the surpluss cash...
I mean, come on people, really???????
While many people, including myself, like nothing more than that first cup of coffee with a morning/daily newspaper, I fully realize that the publishers of said papers are not operating with my enjoyment in mind. They are there to make money...not do anyone any favors.
And ad dollars are few and far between.
Also, the simple fact is that most poeple under 30 yrs of age, simply laugh at the idea of buying a news paper. To them, it makes no sense...grew up with the internet.
I know, I know...we all may disagree with that, but need to acknowlegde it as a simple truth.
News papers are dying a slow death...there is no denying this.
