Papers' Love of Government Hurts Circulation

From Jon Ham, vice president of the John Locke Foundation and publisher of Carolina Journal:

I’ve given a lot of thought to the issue of declining circulation among daily newspapers. I was managing editor of one for a 15-year period that coincided with the downward trend. I swear it wasn’t my fault. In fact, what I learned during that period was that newspapers, enamored as they are of liberal orthodoxy and political correctness, are simply unable to solve the problem.
