"The original idea would be bankrupt if it wasn't for the website." Citation needed. The point of my comment was to point out that all the stuff about being "fast, lean, quick, lo-fi, bloggy" or whatever news buzzwords you hear bandied about as being the solution are not in fact the solution in and of themselves since they have nothing to do with actually making money. At the end of the day, Politico's a lot like College Humor. It has a content web site it uses to promote a physical product where it actually makes money (T-shirts in CH's case). I don't know that there's much to learn from that example.
