I stopped reading after that. I'm sorry, but if you're going to start basing the rest of the article on crazy false projections, there's not going to be a lot of point.

Does it not surprise you that they're betting their money on a paywall site, and proclaiming that print newspapers will die? Of course they'd proclaim that! They want you to sign up to a subscription.
- gloob 16y agoThey get your money when you subscribe to their print paper too, you know. It's not like their business model actually requires the death of print.
