Of course, what people usually overlook is that today will be the good old days at some point.
You can read the WSJ... I will read the NYT. And we can leave it at that. And I hope to be around in 25 years to remind you of what fake news really is.

"Our young men have grown slothful. There is not a single honorable occupation for which they will toil night and day. They sing and dance and grow effeminate and curl their hair and learn womanish tricks of speech; they are as languid as women and deck themselves out with unbecoming ornaments. Without strength, without energy, they add nothing during life to the gifts with which they were born — then they complain of their lot." - Seneca, Contr. I., preface 8-9.
Ugh ..... I am not a baby boomer nor a generation X or Y or Z in this matter but I do love holding the newspaper sometime and forgo my devices

It was all worth it just for the Mickey's Banana flips.
With so much information available with just a few clicks, it’s far less important to learn certain things in advance, just in case you might need the information one day.
In the same way, most coins are now so easily found online that it’s no longer important to buy them when you find them. Only a few special things compel immediate action.
Are we back on topic now? 😛

I went to a restaurant a couple of days ago that had a pay phone hanging on the wall. I told the manager that I hadn't seen a pay phone in decades. He said it didn't work but was only a wall decoration. LOL.

I AM NOT THE ONE WHO SAID IT. YOU ARE READING THE THREAD WRONG. That came from @coinstartled so complain to him. I don't even know what your history is with TDS.
I do not drink coffee, I do not read newspapers, I do not listen to records/cd's/tapes, watch very little TV. I do listen to radio when driving. I do get news on my computer. Relaxing is a walk in the woods, or reading a book... I read a lot of books - both fiction and non-fiction (a lot of guide books, biographies, history, text books, science). I have several hobbies and there is always work around the house...... My time is full... I know I must sleep - so I do - but wish I did not have to....Cheers, RickO

My grandpa never had to worry about reading a thread wrong. Pre internet, folks bickered face to face and with a bit more congeniality.

How the hell am I supposed to do my crosswords?
I watched my brother waste his life away doing massive crossword puzzles every day.

Wonder how he feels about your obsession with waffled coins?
I have no obsession with waffled coins. I hardly ever buy them now.
At one point I was a market maker in waffle coins. I made quite a bit on them with all the proceeds going into real error coins.
That was my point, waffle coins equaled biz opportunities and growing my business. Crossword puzzles allowed my brother to sit on his ass every day doing the crossword puzzle for work instead of doing any real work.
There is actual stuff going on in the world. The idea of a "free press" was to present just the facts: Who, what, where and when. Let the reader do the rest. I suggest everyone read a copy of the bestseller (NYT list 14 weeks?) "Freedom of the Press." There is an entire chapter on the NYT and what they covered up. The first chapter traces the history and purpose of the press from Colonial times. You see, we had a biased press right from the beginning of the country. The difference was, back then, the owners of the newspapers did not hide the fact that they were 100% biased. That is not the case today. Bias can show itself simply as omission. There is more complete reporting of information we all need to know in the foreign press. There is so much overlooked on purpose by "news" papers here that it is impossible to discuss things with intelligent folks who only form opinion watching TV and reading major newsprint.
@coinkat said: "NY Times is not off the rails... And to suggest they are seems to contribute to the diminishing ability of the press to investigate and keep what is relevant in the main stream.
And once this concept is lost... the consequences will be far more significant than puppies and whether they become house trained.
This is EXACTLY WHY "Freedom of the Press" was written and the fact that you UNDERSTAND THE CONSEQUENCES and have expressed yourself so intelligently means you are the exact type of American the book was written for. I applaud your intellect!
@Coinstartled said: "The editors made an admission of such shortly after the 2016 election."
While this is true, they never apologized for knowingly leading the country down the deceptive path they traveled for years. They just switch to a different bunch of nonsense. If their target had been coins and collectors, we would be burning this thread up.
@Justacommeman said: "Just because you don’t agree with it doesn’t make it fake. Calling it fake is easy and doesn’t take much thought.
What makes it" FAKE" is 100% false reporting, cover-up, and especially omission. Because of that, many CANNOT change the opinion they have formed because important information is not provided. There is so much that should be on the front page of EVERY NEWSPAPER IN THIS COUNTRY that is not being reported "to the masses."
I have posted on CU that my father was an extremely intelligent and successful naval officer, inventor, and business mam. He got all his info from TV and the Miami newspaper. That's why I can say he was one of the most IGNORANT people I've ever known when it came to his country!
@Coinstartled I thought those two were one in the same. Wasn't the CEO running for president at one point and then decided keeping the other half of his customers more important.
