Sad to see this newspaper go. In it's prime it was published and printed right in Laconia. Then sold a few times.

Few today get their news from newspapers. Sad.

Now - from reading above some get their news from outdated untrue chain emails and obtuse web sites and opinion blogs. No real verified facts. No primary source facts.
Just opinions. Hey, if you read it on the internet or got a chain email it must be true, right?

A good percentage posting here don't even know what a primary source it.
A good percentage posting here never verify from trusted sources all of the "information" they espouse.

Actually Professor, if you talking about me you couldn't be more wrong. The first thing I look at is the source, I don't necessarily disregard blogs, but if it is something controversial I look for the original material which for most news in typically videoed and available via google. Specifically lately for Trump, I search the scandal of the day as the networks try to take him down and find the original speech or conference they are talking about. 9 times out of 10 the reality of what he said is much different from the spin of your hallowed newspapers or evening news.

Comedy shows such as SNL, Cobert are not place to find out what is going on. Original content is easy to find on line, sourced from CNN, FOX, AP, and many other traditional sources. I will usually read about events that take a day or two before they appear on the evening news.

So professor, you can continue to feel superior reading your several day old news in your newspaper, being spoon fed spin and lies, but I stopped contributing to their BS by not subscribing years ago.

Your "trusted" sources are disappearing because they are not trustworthy.
