Bad times for newspapers

The Hill - Pew Research reported over the summer that total weekday circulation for U.S. daily newspapers fell 8 percent in 2016 on both the print and digital fronts. The drop marks the 28th consecutive year of declines.

There was also a double-digit decline in advertising revenue for the industry in 2016, a trend expected to continue when numbers are tallied for this year.

Bad times for newspapers mean good times for the people.

Most newspapers are primarily propaganda organs for the oligarchy and business interests generally.

Newspapers richly deserve bad times and an early grave.
