	I guess my point got lost.  Being on the Internet is in no way a
prerequisite to getting news.  The Internet is simply one (very common)
transport mechanism used to ship news around.  News can (and does) travel
over regular dial-up lines, X.25 links, and just about anything else that
can move bits from here to there.
