My wife also sent me a link to this article... It amazes me how she could think government involvement would be a positive thing. To me the issue is more and more people are moving from print media to the Internet for their news. I'm not sure how throwing more money at failing businesses is going to help anything.
Maybe I just don't understand the issues...

Laura Ingraham called this one a few months ago, that's funny! Actually, she said newspapers & some of the TV broadcasters. It's absolutely rediculous that the government would want to bail them out!
They are going under because fewer people every day are wanting to hear their biased reporting...the people have spoken by not buying their rags & cancelling subscriptions. Me included!
Even if they do get bailed out, they can't force people to read their drivvel.

Print media is a dying industry. My brother is a newpaper publisher in MO. I can't believe they haven't all moved to on-line media.

My guess is since our socialist / communist regime that is in contol wants to "own" everything that this is one more step in that direction. Once you own it, then you "control" it

I think both issues are combining to accellerate the demise of the newspaper medium specifically: gross bias and a paradigm shift caused by the internet.
There is not a lick of sense to thow a penny into saving the papers.
Sadly, they are dinosaurs (with the exception of the WSJ…)

It certainly wouldn't hurt my feelings to see the Roanoke Times go under!
On March 11th, 2007 they published a database of all Concealed Permit holders on their website complete with addresses. They received a major backlash on this and pulled the database. This is just one on many examples of how newspapers are out of touch with the customer base they are trying to attract.
Here is a link to the article...
