Traditional Media Truly in Trouble; Quota Placed on Santa Robbery Stories
If you ever needed an idea of just how strapped the budgets of traditional news organizations are these days, then look no further than the number of Santa robbery stories they are willing to buy on a given day.
It so happened that a DVD and lottery store not too far from where this writer is stationed was burgled by a man attired in a Saint Nick outfit. I knew immediately that I had a story. Stop the presses, I said. I thenceforth dusted off my Smith Corona and sent out said story.But lo and behold, that same day an even more heinous man with a long white beard robbed a bank in Pennsylvania, and thereby took with him not only wads of cash but all the newspaper space which had been allocated to Santa crime for the day.
