Avisenes undergang?

Det er sørgelig at papiravisenes opplagstall går stadig nedover. Et lyspunkt er det jo at noen aviser som krever og gir litt innsikt går oppover, men jevnt går det nedover. Det er vel verdens gang, antakelig (ha-ha).

En av ulempene med denne utviklingen er at det blir vanskeligere å klassifisere folk etter hvilken avis de sitter med. For å unngå å støte noen på mansjettene med en grei stratifisering av norske avislesere låner jeg heller en fra den geniale Yes, Prime Minister fra ca. 1987:

Hacker: Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers:
The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country;
The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country;
The Times is read by the people who actually do run the country;
The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country;
The Financial Times is read by people who own the country;
The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country;
And The Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is.
Sir Humphrey: Prime Minister, what about the people who read The Sun?
Bernard: Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits.
