We can bail out journalism, using tax dollars and granting licenses in ways that encourage robust and independent reporting and commentary, or we can watch, wringing our hands, as more and more top journalists are laid off

Even if the journalistic profession was truthful I would lay off more and more top journalists instead of using citizen taxpayer dollars to bail them out.

It's too much of a conflict of interest and this administration would skip the conflict of interest part and simply take control of the Fourth Estate.

Next stop, state run media.

We already have a state run media. Just not officially. That’s why the dims are trying to shut down talk radio, their enemy. obambi=dim party=main stream media=obambi. They are all on the same page.

That would be socialism.

I doubt they will back up to there.

Fascism is private ownership, controlled by the government.

That's CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC et al.

The media is a branch of the DNC.

And it is voluntary...now.
