    •  You're right (none / 0)

      I'm living in Europe at the moment and my little local shops (7-11 type shops) in my small village have about 10 to 15 newspapers to select from every day. And usually by the end of the day, most of them are gone.

      Recently I was visiting family and friends in the southwest TX, NM, AZ, UT. And I would be lucky to find even one in the local 7-11 or other store. Most times not even the USA Today. Not even a People magazine -- nothing.

      It's amazing. And all the radio stations here have news on the hour -- real news. Even the popular music stations. And they have real debate and discussions on current political issues, on the popular radio stations and even on TV.
