That’s true, and I think that it reflects the crisis of the papers: if they are failing to capture a wide range of audience of their own country, an aggressive expansion to a new public will not work better than with their local audience.
When the editorial line is infantilized/moved by a highly emotional discourse (the imperfect truth vs the devil) and only wants to appeal one kind of public then it is hard to empathize to a foreign general public which most probably will not be into this sort of mindset, especially in a medium which used to be a serious referent. Foreign childish public will read their local provider of childish/highly emotional news or some of the emotional mediums out there of new generation (buzzfeed magazine or YouTube or whatever pushes the emotional button of ge day).
P.S. I find disgusting to see how HN downvotes people for politely expose their opinion as it happens way too often. Downvote should stay as moderation tool not as like dislike mechanism.
