The future of online news outlets depends on their staying independent no matter how rough the boat ride.
Struggling online news outlets would have to be more than just hopelessly naive to believe that a relatively new ‘New Media Alliance’ leading the battle for survival up against Internet giants Google and Facebook is fighting for them.
How could any online outlet believe in an Alliance in which the New York Times is an active member?
Hello New Media Alliance? Independent news outlets calling!
Hey, there is apparently still a big market for fraud and lies. The false world of the radical Left.
I’ll put my bet on the Browncoats.
Bezos, Slim, and Buffett,
Publicly Pleading Poverty,
Ask Congress for Help,
With Their Newspapers!

It’s the sort of brazen move that might ordinarily trigger a front-page news story or an outraged editorial — a bunch of rich individuals asking Congress to write them a law that would give them better negotiating power against other rich individuals.
Yet in this case, the rich individuals wanting special treatment are the newspaper owners themselves. Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos (worth $83.9 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaire’s Index), New York Times owner Carlos Slim (worth $61.1 billion), and Buffalo News owner Warren Buffett ($76.9 billion), publicly pleading poverty, are asking Congress for a helping hand in their negotiations with Google, controlled by Sergey Brin ($45.6 billion) and Larry Page ($46.8
Excerpted. For the full sad story about Bezos, Slim and Buffett whining about their fishwraps dying due to lack of readership and unable to compete with Google and Facebook.

Doesn’t the Screen Actors Guild get a piece of the action already, since they’re a bunch of bad actors?
