My local newspaper, The McAllen Monitor, is slowly dying.
Over the last month or so it has quit delivering copies on Monday and Tuesday.
Now it is combining the Saturday and Sunday issues into a Weekend issue,
The other local papers, The Valley Morning Star and The Brownsville Herald, are in a similar decline.
It shouldn't be much of a surprise.
All of these papers were bought by a corporation that was backing Obama's election and had no interest in supporting anything but Leftist positions.
Meanwhile, the area is edging toward purple and the demographic that is likely to actually read a newspaper is aging out.
Here at the library, we have about three regulars that come in to read the newspapers.
It looks bad for this form of media... .
