I get the national edition of the New York Times. Today, on Sunday, the paper carried a story on knife rights as a growing movement.

While the story was not perfect from our standpoint, it did explain many of our arguments, and included pungent quotes.

I consider this quite positive, and a big positive at that. While newspapers are nowhere near as influential as they used to be, certain facts remain true:

--Sunday newpaper circulation is way higher than during the week

--I haven't checked in a while, but I believe the Times has the highest circulation of any Sunday newspaper in the country. It also has one of the highest national circulations.

--the article was on the front page! And the carry over was on the first subsequent news page, not buried deep inside.

All in all, I consider this very good news.

What did the story say?
What were some of these quotes?
 
I read your post with enthusiasm until I got to this part:

Really, New York Times? With everything going on in the world, you put this on your front page? Really? Corporate media is a bad joke. I can't wait till they start the annual 'save the children!' 'sexually suggestive toy' Christmas panic....

And they wonder why 'old media' is dying. :barf:

The internet is the best thing to happen to news media, democracy, academics, and commerce in my lifetime.
