They pay more to their reporters not for their quality of work but their social connections for sources. They like privileged people who they know will write what the owners like. The internet is cutting into their income and it will continue. As I see it, our press is becoming freer. The problem with that is it gives the money people much more power. Its been downhill since reagan did away with the fairness doctrine.
