'It's Not Your Business Model That Sucks, It's You That Sucks!'

... Breitbart to Media at Tea Party Convention

Conservative publisher Andrew Breitbart had some harsh words for media members Saturday saying, "It's not your business model that sucks, it's you that sucks."

Addressing the National Tea Party convention in Nashville, Tennessee, Breitbart accused the press of "contempt for the American people."

"In order to create the perception that the minority is the majority and the majority is not just the minority, but bad, racist, homophobic, all those buzzwords that they learned in the freshman orientation class at Wesleyan, are used as weapons to try to destroy you and intimidate you to not speak up and to speak your mind," said Breitbart...

Andrew Brietbart has worked with Matt Drudge and has established some profitable new media outlets of his own, which indicates he knows a thing or two about business models. His contention that it is not the newspaper business model that is going bankrupt all over America, but that it is the newspaper business model run by liberal anti American owners who have nothing but contempt for their readers makes for some interesting contemplation.

What if Breitbart is right? What if all these newspaper owners that are laying off staff every other day and bleeding money at a prodigious rate are simply destroying their own companies because they refuse to acknowledge that they are out of step with their customers? Is there anything dumber than that?
