New Media v. The Extinction Bound MSM

Hugh Hewitt recently gave an interview to Tim Rutten of the LA Times, with the proviso that it would be broadcast. Per Rutten's condition, it was delayed. Radio Blogger has the transcript. A long read but well worth it. It was background for this columm by Mr. Rutten. The thrust of Rutten's article was the decline and fall of conservative talk. But the interview showed that you would want the ever sharp Hewitt to cross examine any of your accusers. Rutten comes across as simply not understanding that if the Times continues to swing far left, it will doom itself. Balance is simply good business sense.

Good business sense? But that's capitalism, you (I'm about to coin a new term here) CEOist!

They are owned by Tribune, a corporation, and one would assume that the company's goal is to enrich the shareholders. But as I read the Times and look at the numbers (as quoted by Hewitt in that interview) they certainly aren't acting like it.
