What's unfortunate is that in our day, as I'm sure it was even back when information was recorded in caves, all media was and is biased in one degree or another. And with the technology of today, the ability to influence the masses is tremendous. Whatever the medium; whether it be textbooks, TV, the internet, you name it - the news we receive will always be slanted. However, the media today, is owned and controlled by but a few. Even Fox, and Ruppert Murdock, isn't at all "fair and balanced". All of them have an agenda - many of whom are influenced internationally. Fortunately, we have the internet to receive either the "whole" truth; or at least the rest of what they didn't want us to know.
By the way, it's 186,000 miles per "second", not per hour, as the article erroneously stated.
Despite what the Deseret News says, this isn't about innovation and leadership. It's about profitability. Cutting costs helps in the short term, but the D-News - and all media members like it - need to discover other ways to generate revenue. The best way to figure that out is for the D-News to look at its most basic components, and find ways to make money.
