The whole industry is failing due to changing consumer trends towards how they get the news. One of the bright spots for newspapers or at least news sources is how well they can leverage the internet. Ruetuers last I recall is not having a problem as it has been selling its news reports to information portals like Yahoo and MSN.

Slant has virtually nothing to do with it.

Interestingly enough, one of the bright spots in print are tabloids.
I've got 30 full boxes of different tabloids snce the 1970's. I think its been having an uptrend because most people like to collect them, eh?
