At least in my observations, our generation doesn't have a large population that reads the newspaper or even watches the news. My dad reads the paper every day, and he drops everything he's doing to watch the 11 o'clock evening news. I feel like our parents' generation is one of the last newspaper-reading generations. I, on the other hand will watch the news just sometimes, and read the headlines on yahoo, and that's my daily dosage of news. I doubt I'll get a daily newspaper delivered to my house when I am a full-fledged adult.
I hope Twitter, and things of the like, do not become the main source of news for us. I think that Twitter should suppliment or compliment the news media, not take it over. I'm not too worried..I think newspapers will stick around.
As for the conspiracy article, I think to a certain point we should all open our eyes and learn all the facts we can about the world and the way our government is run. You know, just don't be naive. But some conspiracy theorists go way to far, are paranoid, and they really do have "dark minds". They've always got someone to blame.
I like this quote:
"Grandiosity is often a defense against underlying feelings of powerlessness."
