Looks like , yes , they all are in big financial troubles , but I wonder if it is a conscious strategy to try to trap the hard left readers into paying for media as opposed to just going on Tumblr for free ? I mean , if I wanted to trap a cohort from migrating to free online media in my TV or magazine , the most glaringly obvious cohort to try to trap would be OLD PEOPLE . They are the least likely to move anyway , set in their ways . Aaand in my neighborhood fashion boutiques close down and hearing aid shops are opened . Old people are goldmine . So I wonder , if they had any sense and reorient CNN or NYT for old people , what sort of politics would work for that ? What surely not is SJWery . Either Old Left , Bernie style , economicleft , or Conservative .
