Yeah, they're still around, but on life support. Even the venerable Washington Post is a shadow of what it once was. They will cease to exist in a few decades or sooner. Many have already folded or aren't dailies anymore.

So few people read newspapers anymore that their endorsements are meaningless. A newspaper's endorsement of a candidate was once a big deal because it actually could sway votes for the candidate. No more.

Agreed and the thin line between entertainment/sensationalism and news, has now become part of social media and the television. Its impossible to find anything unbiased, or not owned by some conglomerate without interests at the top, that want to stifle or change how the news is disseminated.
