Here are a couple links that show the decline of traditional media as opposed to the growth of online media.
Pew Research Center reports that the Internet has overtaken newspapers and “has now surpassed all other media except television as an outlet for national and international news.” For young people (Americans under 30, sadly a demographic I no longer match) the Internet rivals television with the same numbers.

TechCrunch tells us to follow the money for more evidence of traditional media’s precipitous nosedive reporting “that between 88 percent of the publishing and advertising industry’s revenue growth over the next few years will come from four sectors: Database & Information, B2B Online Media, Consumer Online Media, and Interactive Marketing Services. In other words, it will be coming mostly from the Web.”
As the MSM commits suicide dies, so dies the Left’s stranglehold over the news. It’s a great time to be alive and witness the fall of these Bastions of BS as internet sources take them down one notch at a time.
This is obviously preaching to the choir, but on the off chance that you’re reading this post and don’t already use the Internet as your source for news, give it a shot. Start using a news reader like Google Reader. Subscribe to a few feeds. You’ll never look back.
