11/16/07 - Port Chester's Make Believe Publisher Richard Fable Is Still In Shock As Another One Bites The Dust


Richard "The Rye Town Drama Queen" Fable Sceams, "Daddy What Are We Going To Do !!!!"


Then Bernie "I Forgot To Pay Over 100 Property Tax Bills" Fable says,"Shut Up You Little Snot Nosed Punk. Don't Worry The people of Port Chester are stupid.
First they let me get away with forgetting to pay over 100 property tax bills, then they willingly pay us big bucks to read the Hopelessly Biased Rag Known As The Westmore Snooze online."


Long long ago, a hedge fund research guy far, far away office in Greenwich produced a long winded report looking at economic models of online newspapers, and whether newspapers could charge for visits to their website.


It was an impressive report of a couple of hundred pages, but I’ll boil it down for you:


Nothing works, except The Wall Street Journal.


The Wall Street Journal for years has been the exception that proves the rule, charging subscriptions for access to its online edition.


And now, Un - Abel and Dis - Abel are panicing now that Wall Street Journal is going to be FREE like Port Chester Roundup and The Journal News.


Rupert "The Billionaire Tyrant" Murdoch, just bought the Wall Street Journal and says the WSJ is going FREE.


The Fables and that hopelessly biased rag known as the Westmore Snooze need to wake up and smell the coffee.


If you want an election update, a school sports score, or a news account about the board of trustees, there is an infinite amount of information a click away.


All this information on the web creates its own price structure.


And the going rate for nearly all the information out there is....


$0.00


The New York Times had to admit to this reality, when they decided to stop their TimesSelect gambit. The Economist had to give up the ghost. Slate tried the subscription model, before it realized it just wasn’t going to happen. And now the Journal is wondering aloud whether it should change its strategy, even if it means -- as Reuters reported – taking a hit in the short term.


So next time you get frustrated at the weird or irritating ads that pop up or move around, or have to enter in a zip code at a website, or notice that a word or two in the story is sponsored by an advertiser, remember that’s the price you pay for paying nothing at all.


Then ask your self, why am I paying the Fables to access this crap at the Hopelessly Biased Rag Known As The Westmore Snooze.
