Washington Post Co. profit falls 77 percent

Look, if their star “investigative journalist” Bob Woodward would work consistently, maybe they would make some money.
I mean the guy investigates when guys like Nixon are in the White House, but takes off 4 years when guys like Carter are in.
Then works again when guys like Reagan are in the White House, then off again for 8 years in the 1990s.
Then he decides to “investigate” again in 2000 for another 8 years.
Then he takes off from “investigating” when Obama decides to run.  He is off again until 2013. 
I mean, your employees have to show up every day with their “A” game, or profits suffer.
Hardball journalism sells.  Selective journalism does not.

gqrich, what’s your point?  I’ve never denied that Fox News is right leaning.  But liberals continuously deny that all the other cable news networks (and a majority of papers) are left leaning (I use that term lightly because if they leaned any farther left, they’d fall over) But if you look at the number of left leaning media outlets versus right leaning ones, you can clearly see which views have the most voice.

Mark, can you not also reverse your statement to say the same for you?  “The simple-minded are easy to brainwash, hence the power of Huffington and CNN and MSNBC and NYT and WaPo (and I could go on all day).  You left-wingers have never listened to Hannity or watched Fox News.  You’ve never read a book by Rush Limbaugh.  But you’ve been filled with ignorant hate for these people by your media handlers.“

You believe everything you see from these leftist wackos and never consider there’s another side to the story.  I do pay attention to the other side for as long as I can stand to listen.  When reporting the news and facts turns to opinion and commentary, I turn off the liberal-leaning media.

The opposite of “left” is “right” and the opposite of “wrong” is “right”, therefore “left” equals “wrong”.

The simple-minded are easy to brainwash, hence the power of Rush and Fox News.  You right-wingers have never read the New York Times or the Washington Post.  You’ve never read a book by Al Franken or seen a movie by Michael Moore.  But you’ve been filled with ignorant hate for these people by your media handlers.  There is a clear division between right and left and, for the most part, it defines intelligence.  You love your old icons but have forgotten what they did.  Do you know how much Reagan raised our national debt?  No.  Do you realize the “star wars” program was a huge waste of resources and never a plausible solution (and, by the way, had nothing to do with the fall of the USSR)?  Simple minds, like fat cattle, milked of their money by fat billionaires.  I just wish I could get rich off of you too.

Ignorance is bliss.  if the right wing read a decent paper like the Washington Post instead of getting their news from Rush or Fox News then this country would be better off.  The right has lead us down the path of economic and environmental destruction for eight years.  We went from wondering what to do with our massive budget surplus to wondering how to pay off our massive deficit.  We owe this to George Bush and the Republicans.  Read the papers right wingers.  Learn how your party has sold you out.
