The Incredible, Shrinking Liberal Media: Newsracks Targeted for Removal

El Segundo, California has a large street running between the residential and industrial sections of the city. Sepulveda Blvd rushes south before turning into Pacific Coast Highway, then turns eastward toward Long Beach and into Orange County. The major corporations in the aerospace industry have housed a number of their branch offices and plants in El Segundo.

Chevron's large refinery stands along the southern border of the city. LAX covers the northern section. El Segundo is a massive hub of national and international activity, especially with the large US Airforce base located to the east.

With so much commerce and activity, one would assume that consumers would purchase every copy of the local newspapers in the newsreels and newsracks.

Yet at the LA Metro Green Line station, particularly the junction located at Aviation Blvd. and Imperial Highway, I noticed that one of the Los Angeles Times newsracks had not changed out the Saturday, December 2nd editions of the newspaper:

Notice that yellow sticker, too. Why can't the delivery men stop buy and put in the Sunday editions of the LA Times? They get stolen very easily, for starters, right? Then again, no one was reading the Saturday edition of the LA Times, anyway. It looks like the LA times has gotten so unappealing that people won't even steal it.

Again, these sections of Los Angeles County are connected to major transportation. Men and women from all over the world driver through El Segundo. Men and women of all professional backgrounds frequent the restaurants along Sepulveda Blvd. Surely some of them, any number among those large numbers, why buy a newspaper or two, right?

Guess again.

Check out all of these abandoned racks along Sepulveda:

They have been targeted for potential removal if they are out of compliance with the El Segundo Municipal code.

These racks are dirty, blighted. Some of them don't look as if they have been used for at last a year. Notice that two of the racks subject to demolition below to the major Fake News newspapers in the South Bay region:

The liberal press is taking a beating like never before. In many ways, it is of their own making. They have pushed liberal talking points for decades, and the technology revolution has made it all too easy for consumers to look up articles online. For the diminishing flagship media sites which charge readers to view articles, less traffic than before is coming to their news sites.

Newspapers are desperate for readers, for traffic, and for revenue. They have resorted to printing relentlessly negative articles about President Trump and traditional culture and values. They are doubling down on the same empty refrain of left-wing narrative pablum, which is precisely what is drying up interest in their print media to begin with.

Project Veritas ran another undercover sting operation on the Washington Post, and one of the journalists admitted that they depend on the Trump Presidency for 40% of their readership. Most of their articles are sensationalist, controversial, and in too many cases unsubstantiated.

If the press will not respect the will and intellect of the reading public, they should expect more of the same to happen to their increasingly neglected newsracks. This is a seismic shift in the media industry, for sure, and for something this massive to occur in one of the wealthiest enclaves of Los Angeles County is particularly telling.
