You have to remember that these articles are to some extent manual stitchers writing critiques of the sewing machine. The newspapers are what is getting killed by new media, and honestly they deserve it. They've had an oligopoly on pushing their agenda for a long time, and it's hurt people (eg. beating the war drums for Iraq, leaving the American people objectively misinformed). There are criticisms to make but these people are not the ones to make them.
