[lbo-talk] Glenn Beck breaks down in tears, blubbers on-air AGAIN

[Mark DeLucas]

Who would deny that we need news-gathering organizations?  The current companies are probably too debt-ridden to survive, but I would expect that in their wake a new series of news organizations will emerge.  Their precise format and scale is difficult to predict, but the basic service will likely be a lot like what we see today.

Yup. What annoys me, though, is the line that we don't need newspapers because the Internet will save us.
