#1 I would say that the media is just one branch of the new ruling class.

I would also say that the only way to get rid of the new ruling class is to dismantle the instituitions they have built.

#2 The best way to shut them down is to cancel your subscriptions and turn off your TV. Walk your dog, read a book, ride a bike, tend your garden, wash your car, clean your gun, whatever. You might be amazed at what you can do with your spare time just by getting out from in front of the idiot box in your living room. If you must have news you can get it for free from sites like Rantburg, Drudge and Breitbart. Well, of course, every now and then Fred will issue a bleg. But it's better than giving it to the New York Times.

#4 Don't hold your breath Ebbang, the Cubs drop 100 games (so far) and still get 2.8 million in Wrigley. You will never go broke betting on the stupidity of people and the media bets heavily on stupidity

#5 Ebbing has a point - our local paper (not even a BAD paper) has cut to publishing three days a week. And the Slimes is hemorraging money as subscribers quit.
