I believe this was posted in another manner elsehere, but i noticed parties over at the DU are taking part in this, as i spotted it posted there. Hate to see them have all their say. but i think they for some reason beleive newspapers are right winger propaganda machines. We don't mind a good fight with a liberal.
As touched on in The Hill's - Blog Briefing Room. President Obama may be open to a newpaper bailout. We can image how many conservatives will feel about such an action. With the liberal leanings of so many of these companies, We're sure he will be under so much pressure to accommodate them. The only need for such a bill would be to save our many pets the torture of having to being retrained to go outside more often. As that is all most of them are good for these days, except for help getting politicians elected and socialist propaganda. It's all based on who owns the paper, the only way to tell who will when is when the dough is spread about. Liberals claim they elect republican presidents and conservatives claim major newspapers do the same for the competition.

No, I then can start my new business. Paper rolls for pet poop.
He almost has it, effectively, now.
ALL businesses are only for a time. NO to bailout a dead business.
Why fund an outdated business model? Maybe he can shovel some cash to the buggy whip business?
BTTT.
I feel about the same as catching Poison Ivy.
Ya might want to pay a little attention to grammar in your poll questions.
Commies live their lives beating dead horses.
It's like investing in black and white TV.
The government bailing out newspapers should almost be unconstitutional. The Constitution guarantees a free press...how free can a press be that is beholden to the government for it’s existence?
Hey guys, you need to read something while your sitting in your CashforClunker bail out Caddilac, driving from your CRA mortgaged house, while considering how many racists there are around you who want you to suffer.
Cash bail out...ONLY for the New York Times, which is owned by a Mexican, Carlos Slim....
Bailouts? Bailouts?
The industry has been displaced largely by the net.
If someone needs a bailou, its the NAP, National order of Prostitutes.....for the failure in the economy, children are not getting fed... there are too many freelancers... most of them in the senate.
"Almost"??? It is ABSOLUTELY unconstitutional. Read the powers specified in Article I, Section 8. Got that?
OK, now read the Xth Amendment one more time...
Newspaper bailout? A very bad idea and a terrible precedent.
Businesses are supposed to attract people to their product but if their product stinks or the buyers of that product decide it’s a lemon and refuse to buy it anymore, then the business deservedly should go out of business.
Furthermore, the collapse of the MSM is not only ideological but practical because people can now get their information without spin and filters on the Internet and through cable news unless of course you happen to be CNBC or MSNBC or like that in which case may I suggest watching THE FOX NEWS CHANNEL AND THE FOX BUSINESS CHANNEL for any information and news you need to know.
And by the way, if your cable provider does not offer THE FOX BUSINESS CHANNEL, DEMAND IT!
Newspapers, like buggy whips, deserve to die as print media.
By their very nature, bringing information of sometime ephemeral importance, they lag behind the immediacy of television and radio, but they do have the capacity to preserve snapshots of life at a particular moment, unaltered by subsequent events. And because it is the printed word, there is a sort of semi-permanence attached to the information contained therein.
If in fact it were always merely information, and not part of an editorial effort to doctor or transform the meaning of the news to fit a particular agenda, or protect cherished beliefs. Then the “information” transmutes into some form of “disinformation” (what you believe to be true, that is not really so) or “misinformation” (the truth cannot be determined from the collecton of isolated facts presented).
But if, as what was once the way that newsprint was presented, they are a daily or even hourly journal of events, then truly, they become the “first draft of history”. History is written from the collated facts that are interpreted and reinterpreted as more information becomes available.
In the absence of anything written, however, the facts of the past are filled in with imagination, suppositions, and outright fabrications that SEEM to fill the missing gaps in
It is like trying to replace a missing tooth with Chiclets chewing gum.
Imagine the strings that would be attached to that legislation. "We own you now. You print what we tell you to print - or else."
Why should texpayers pay for Soros’s propaganda arm. Let the devil pay for his minions’ work.
Well then, they’ll just tax the net to pay for newspapers.
Obama may be open to a newpaper bailout.just another insane Obama idea.
So hell. Why not.
