When dinosaurs attack

There's a certain amount of glee that arrogant, pouty 20-somethings get when it comes to the old media. Us dinosaurs, newspapers, just don't get it and never will. Thus delegated to the lichyard of history, newspapers are on the way out, replaced by such monoliths as (gasp) the Internet.

Yeah, cause random Web sites are such a great source of journalism. Laugh if you must (and some of you must), but newspapers are still it when it comes to providing the best news in the best format, whether it's online, on paper, or devilishly crafted into your dreams as you sleep.

Look at this winner, Daily Kos, current-day champion of everything loopy liberal. They sure caught Sarah Palin with their excerpt from an interview conducted by Katie Couric:

"Incidentally, we confirmed Henry Kissinger's position following our interview. He told us he supports talks, if not with Ahmadinejad, then with high level Iranian officials, without preconditions."

And here's Kissinger's remarks taken from a slightly better source, CNN:

"After Friday night's presidential debate, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger defended Sen. John McCain's attack against Sen. Barack Obama for Obama's willingness to meet with the Iranian president 'without precondition.'"

"Sen. McCain is right. I would not recommend the next president of the United States engage in talks with Iran at the presidential level," Kissinger said in the statement.
"My views on this issue are entirely compatible with the views of my friend Sen. John McCain. We do not agree on everything, but we do agree that any negotiations with Iran must be geared to reality."

Sure, go to your Daily Kos' and your No Spin Zones and your Playboy magazines for news, 20-somethings. But if you want to get your news from reputable sources, maybe you should look at a newspaper - some of them are even familiar with this thing called the World Wide Web.
