LA Times' Circulation: Sinks Like a Stone

[Don]

Interesting web site shows graphs of plunging US newspaper circulation, graphed since 1990. The LA Times has gone straight down from 1.2 million circulation in 1990, to 600,000 today!

The LA Times committed suicide by spearheading the Mexican Invasion of So. Cal. Guess what? Spanish speakers don't read an English language news paper. (Even the ones who actually are literate enough to read). The Americans who did read English language newspapers pulled up stakes and went elsewhere.

This is the measure of the commitment of the ruling class to destroy us. They are perfectly willing to destroy viable businesses such as news papers along the way in order to subjugate us to a foreign invasion. The LA Time actively waged war against its own English speaking American readership and doomed itself in the process.

Does this give you some idea of the magnitude of the evil against which we are contending?

Don you are 100% correct in everything that you have said.
I would like to add that if you look closely you may find that the LA Times may have bought an interest in the many Spanish language newspapers out there.

In any case I hope they go out of business....forever! B**tards!:mad:

The one good thing about bad papers, is waiting for the next day, when They're free, and using them to light the woodstove.

Oh, and the circulation of the SF-> north Cal. papers has dropped so much that They're almost extinct, or going to an online format only.

This is a true indicator of the "take over" by Mexico.The LA Times will just morph into a Spanish language piece of toilet paper, which it more than likely already has under a different name...a knock off of the original. There's not a large enough readership left in Southern California to sustain an English speaking news rag such as the LA Slimes. The invasion and occupation of LA by Mexico has been completed. English speaking American citizens that are in that area are basically caught behind enemy lines.

Don't forget....the invaders blatantly predicted this complete take over years ago, WE WERE WARNED:

Yes ,they warned us and when some of us fought back we were called racists and much worse. They are living the high life now but I am not through fighting. Have you noticed how many are running for political office now? They also said they would take over our government. I wonder if the Bleeding Hearts have noticed.

....

And it should be emphasized that Spanish speakers on the average are far less literate in their own language. This means that their vocabulary and general knowledge is far below that of the native English speaker. This suggests a powerful strategy for non-Hispanics in confronting and corrupting Hispanic influence in the US. Native English speakers, especially those who have no Hispanic connections who adopt the Spanish language can use this skill against The Invasion by occupying jobs that require Spanish speaking skills. The average native English speaker who carries over their background into the Spanish language will always be functioning at a higher level than native Spanish speakers. And remember, Spanish is a European language, and so acclimating in the Spanish language can be done oriented around the country of Spain, which is an old industrialized country, even if its level of literacy is inferior to that of English speaking countries.

The lack of literacy in Spanish speaking countries is a direct consequence of the influence of the Catholic Church, which has yet to be convinced that universal literacy is in the best interests of human existance.

Learning a second language and elevating that skill to your native tongue is a tough job, but can pay off in a big way. And in confronting The Invasion, is a weapon more dangerous to them than anything that a gun collection could offer.

My obervations suggest that among all the non-English speaking immigrants, the most literate are the Chinese. Chinese language newspapers are everywhere. They are followed very closely by the Vietnamese.

Two things:

1. A good portion of the dowturn in newspaper sales is a technology shift, rather than a demographic one. In contrast to 1990, the L.A. Times now offers it's content for free on the internet.

2. Keep in mind that the Times Mirror Co. (that owns the L.A. Times) also owns the daily periodical Hoy.

I agree that the technology shift is a factor in the declining fortunes of newspapers. Still, I would love to see the circulation figures for the last 20 years broken down on a zip code by zip code basis. I think it would be fascinating.

What kills me is my older children are driving to work and probably don't even notice these crappy signs. Guess it's time to bitch to them again.

I wholeheartedly agree. I'd be willing to bet they'd largely mirror the demographic patterns. Off the top of my head, here in So. California, I'd be curious to take a peek at the numbers for the past twenty years in Inglewood, Canoga Park and North Hollywood.

The decline of newspapers is a sad thing. Newspapers are a recent invention and regarded as a unifying and civilizing influence. Lincoln was a great believer in newspapers, except, of course, for the several hundred of them that he shut down during the Civil War because they disagreed with his administration. :confused:

Still I lament their passing. I enjoy reading a morning paper over coffee and I'm still old enough that I like to underline and make marginal notes, usually in [violent] disagreement with what was said. It's good intellectual exercise.

I would pay for and read a decent newspaper if any existed. For now, it's Google "News" searches on the Internet.

I must also say that in reading the responses to this thread, I really admire the resolve of people who have responded. I know it seems overwhelming, but the history of our country has been, in so many ways, the history of the triumph of "ordinary" citizens who showed "extraordinary" resolve and determination in the face of overwhelming odds.

I was watching a documentary about the war for independence and the breaking of the siege and blockade of Boston by the Redcoats and the Royal Navy, early in the conflict. British ships bottled up the harbor. A Boston bookseller named Henry Knox ordered military books for British soldiers stationed in Boston and over the years had read many of them in his spare time. He formulated a plan to place artillery on the heights of the city and reign down cannon fire on the British ships in the harbor. Problem: No artillery.

Colonial forces, however, had just defeated and occupied Ft. Ticonderoga 350 miles away and captured many British arillery pieces in the process. General Washington approved Knox's idea and in the dead of winter, hearty colonials dismantled and transported captured artillery 350 miles in the dead of winter over bad roads and assembled them on the heights of Boston. When the British saw what happened, they negotiated for a cease fire in order to withdraw from Boston Harbor. A great, bloodless victory!

An "ordinary" bookseller came forward and helps turn the tide of the war for Independence. An "ordinary" guy who dropped out of school in the 5th grade invented the electric light and hundreds of other inventions: Thomas Edison. Ordinary bicycle mechanics invented the airplane: The Wright Brothers.

Ordinary, rank and file American citizens have turned the tide in the past and I believe they can do it again.
