Colbert and the demise of newspapers

Colbert "interviewed" the Newspaper Association of America's lobbyist and managed, in five minutes, to express why print is dying:
1. the general public doesn't seek knowledge, but wants to be diverted and entertained
2. people want speedy gratification/entertainment
3. they want what news they tolerate learning about for free
4. the news industry doesn't know how to change its business model.

Take a look.
