    I am sure you use it for that purpose, after that you clean your hands and face when you eat...


    About one minute to ten, by my watch, like.

    Not a word.

    One would've thought that the very quantum of rational expression you've encountered on this board might've had some sort of subliminal effect. Seems not.

    You are decisively pig-ignorant. Nice trick if you can manage it.

    Many newspapers suffer from being conduits for the owners political agenda but they are still the best source for in-depth analysis .
    TV is nothing but sensationalism and sound bites and if you want rampant and uncontrolled propaganda look no further than the internet.
    Besides there is something both quite comforting and "right" about sitting down and at your leisure and reading (whether a paper or book) off of actual paper.
    I don't care want what toy Apple comes out with I hope they never supplant it.
    Respect my lack of authority.

    I read the newspaper for local news, mostly. The interweb > newspapers for in-depth analysis. Sure, there's plenty of rubbish floating around the ether, but you can also find all of the positive things that you've mentioned about traditional newspapers, and in real time, obviously.
