”Earlier in the day, Rich changed his job description on his Twitter page from Daily News Editor-In-Chief to “just a guy sitting at home watching journalism being choked into extinction.”
He also tweeted, “If you hate democracy and think local government should operate unchecked and in the dark, then today is a good day for you.”
What he fails to mention is, the paper has choked itself with biased reporting and sensational headlines designed to influence readers rather than reporting truth and facts.
It’s about time Fifth Column Yellow Journalists pay the price for their pinko propaganda.

All thinking, and freedom loving people “hate democracy”, which is mob rule government.
And just what did our Founding Fathers think of “democracy”? Madison, in Federalist No. 10 says in reference to “democracy” they
…have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths. Theoretic politicians, who have patronized this species of government, have erroneously supposed that by reducing mankind to a perfect equality in their political rights, they would, at the same time, be perfectly equalized and assimilated in their possessions, their opinions, and their passions.
And during the Convention which framed our federal Constitution, Elbridge Gerry and Roger Sherman, delegates from Massachusetts and Connecticut, urged the Convention to create a system which would eliminate “the evils we experience,” saying that those "evils . . .flow from the excess of democracy…"
And, then there was John Adams, a principle force in the American Revolutionary period who also pointed out "democracy will envy all, contend with all, endeavor to pull down all; and when by chance it happens to get the upper hand for a short time, it will be revengeful, bloody, and cruel…"
And Samuel Adams, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and favoring the new Constitution as opposed to democracy declared: "Democracy never lasts long” . . . “It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself.”. . . "There was never a democracy that ‘did not commit suicide.’"
And during the Constitutional Convention, Hamilton stated: "We are a Republican Government. Real liberty is never found in despotism or in the extremes of Democracy."
And then there was Benjamin Franklin, who informed a crowd when exiting the Convention as to what system of government they created, he responded by saying "A republic, if you can keep it."
Democracy, or majority rule vote, as the Founding Fathers well knew, whether that majority rule is practiced by the people or by elected representatives, if not restrained by specific limitations and particular guarantees in which the unalienable rights of mankind are put beyond the reach of political majorities, have proven throughout history to eventually result in nothing less than an unbridled mob rule system susceptible to the wants and passions of a political majority imposing its will upon those who may be outvoted, and would result in the subjugation of unalienable rights, and especially rights associated with property ownership and liberty.

The unavoidable truth is, the Bernie Sanders/Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ plan for “free” college tuition will be paid for by taxing millions of college graduates who worked for and paid their own way through college and are now trying to finance their own economic needs.
So yeah, if you’re cheering on the dismantling of local media, then you’re cheering on the ability of people to not know what their local government is doing and helping to enable corruption and bad government. It is just that simple.
Do you have some examples of “unbiased” newspapers thriving during the age of citizen journalists and digital media? If not, perhaps your hypothesis is flawed…
If anyone being fired en masse at the local TV news stations? How about radio? Cable news?
Nope, all those are thriving…it’s just the old fashioned newspapers that are feeling the pinch.
Face it. People want their news immediately, not tomorrow morning, or two days from now. They want it as it happens, hence the shift in media preferences.
You really don’t have a clue. Do you? The N.Y. Daily News has done this to itself with biased reporting and sensational headlines designed to influence readers rather than reporting truth and facts.
As to its flock of Yellow Journalists who lost their jobs, they are about to find the Paper’s Employee pension fund is not worth the paper its written on. Hopefully they will come to their senses and realize the error of their ways.

American citizens are sick and tired of being made into tax-slaves to finance the economic needs of millions of poverty stricken, poorly educated, low and unskilled aliens who have invaded America’s borders.
It’s nice to see Trump lovers supporting the First Amendment. God forbid if we ever find out about all the crap the corrupt Trump Admin. has already pulled and is continuing to pull.
The fact is, Fifth Column media outlets and Yellow Journalism is on a steep decline. The American People are looking for news outlets which report the news and facts, which is what the New York Post does.
November 16, 2016
”The Post was the No. 1 seller on newsstands, with 169,543 copies sold in September, down 9.9 percent. The Times sold an average 77,994 newsstand copies, down 3.5 percent. The News saw newsstand sales crater by 11.4 percent, to 115,923.” ___ LINK
