Poll Watch: 61 Per Cent of American Adults Say They Are Confident that Online and Other News Sources Can Replace Newspapers

Don’t think some of the newspapers that are declaring bankruptcy will EVER make it back.

The King is Dead, Long Live the King.

This is the finding that struggling daily newspapers don’t want to hear: 61% of American adults are confident that online and other news sources will make up the difference and report things people want to know about if many newspapers go out of business.

But the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 35% still lack confidence in other news sources to make up the difference.

Thirty percent (30%) are now Very Confident that sources other than newspapers will provide the news they want, while only eight percent (8%) are not at all confident of that.

This data comes just a month after a survey found Americans find the reliability of online news sources comparable to that in their local print newspaper.

The newspaper and media stocks should now be considered toxic assets. But, you know, the LEFT is trying to bail them out.

How stupid is that?
