Iowahawk on the downfall of newspapers
Iowahawk brilliantly satirizes the last half century of the American newspaper industry. Multiple follies on the part of the newspapering class are ridiculed, and the history of an industry ably encapsulated in a surprising format. Drolly hilarious. This is an instant classic. It had me laughing out loud at times. Somehow skewering the elites through an Iowa lens makes the rapier of his wit all the sharper. This is best satire I have read in recent memory.
