The continued decline of the books section

Looks like one of the last two holdouts in the States will soon be on the chopping block. Someone just noticed that the WaPo’s Book World has a little red laser sight dot on it and is about to have cap busted in its ass. And the response from the Post doesn’t seem to deny this might be the case, even though the spin-tastic quote seems to renew its commitment to books.

Washington Post honcho Marcus Brauchli tells us, “We are absolutely committed to book reviews and coverage of literature, publishing and ideas in The Post. Our readership has a huge interest in these areas.“  Fingers crossed.

Hm, where have we heard this kind of thing before? Bong! Bong! For whom does that bell toll?
