Newsprint Limbo

Thank you, and Brian Lambert, for pointing out the inadequacies of our local newspapers. [See Lambert’s blog Lambert to the Slaughter, at www.rakemag.com.] Many of us have given up on the mainstream and instead look to your magazine and other free venues for intelligent, comprehensive, and well-written journalism, telling us what is going on in our world. Of course, with a regime in the White House incapable of concise communication we can understand the dumbing down—generally—of too much of today’s media. The bar is at its lowest.
