The US is a nation of immigrants from countries all over the world who were so apathetic to their citizens that said citizens left their home countries to make a better life for themselves. Damn straight we couldn't care less about the rest of the world - the rest of the world didn't care about us. Think about us as Lao Tze - who shook the dust from his sandals as he left China, never to be seen there again.

Because nobody else pays people to do serious investigative journalism on a municipal level.

Newspapers serve a vital public function - they employ journalists to expose malfeasance and corruption in city governments.

You should subscribe to your local paper - even if you don't read it. Think of it as a voluntary tax, your civic responsibility to pay someone to make sure your elected officials aren't screwing you as a taxpayer.
