I get most of my news online, I browse a variety of news sites and try to interpolate the true story from what I find. I don't spend a lot of time on news though, most of it is depressing stuff I can't control anyway.

The free ones get thrown onto my front yard. They are good lighting the BBQ and keeping a stash in readiness for any more TP zombie apocalypse.

I imagine so, but nowadays by 'newspaper' one tends to include the online simulacrum of same.

Yes of course they are. But if you only use their online counterparts, that's still the same content.

Problem is that the major ones, almost worldwide, have stopped being independent and almost all belong to large groups/billionaires with definite political agendas and tight links with governments. That's not good.

The underlying problem is generally corporations are taking over government and that is ending the unpredictability (like democracy)  Of course all corporations want this, its been their goal since the 1930s to end the unpredictability of voting.

Otherwise, people could just vote whatever they wanted to happen. That would sometimes destroy the investments of corporations when the people didn't agree with them.  So there has been this huge change, that not many people know has happened. Its global and permanent.  And Nobody is about to announce this, ever. why would they?

cdev:
Simulacrum,
Its a word invented by Baudrillard, and a pretty descriptive/good one.
