Then we would be almost there - at complete so m that is. Uncle Sam, m is now in the banking industry, Wall Street, mortgages, the auto industry. what's left but media and private education?. and what's next?. take - over of the food industry and the health care system? Tell us what to eat, and when we get sick from it, provide our health care?. This is all madness. It should never have gotten even this far
Newspapers are owned by some of the wealthiest people in the USA. Some of these people own many papers as well as TV & radio stations and lots of other stuff - like too many houses to keep track of. The government will never need to bail - out the media but the owners may need to come up with more operating cash and some better plans
It does not require permission from the government and to declare that it does is contradictory to the First Amendment of the U. S. Cons ution. I am sorry that the major newspapers are having financial woes. Maybe that's a sign that they're too big and haven't been running their businesses properly. Let them fail and in their place smaller independents will take their place. Maybe THEN, when true compe ion is allowed in journalism we will see a return of quality news reporting. Licensing from the government ures that you will read exactly what the government wants you to read
No, Govt. is getting too involved, next they will be telling us how many children to have, . Let the media take care of their Own, No More BailOuts! . That is why Enough is Enough !
I do not think the government should bail out news papers. Here is more of what she said it does not seem quite like you explained it:. "Still, I knew it was time to pray for a government bailout in December, when my editor explained that because the paper's parent company had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, I might not get paid for my recent columns. From a legal perspective, he told me, I was not a columnist - I was an "unsecured creditor" of Tribune Co. '". "If newspapers become mostly infotainment websites - if the number of well - trained investigative journalists dwindles still further - and if we're soon left with nothing but the yapping heads who dominate cable "news" and talk radio, how will we recognize, or hope to forestall, impending national and global crises? How will we know if government officials have made terrible mistakes, as even the best will sometimes do? How will we know if government officials have told us terrible lies, as the worst have sometimes done? A decimated, demoralized and under - resourced press corps hardly questioned President George W. Bush's administration's flimsy case for war in Iraq - and the price for that failure will be paid for generations. ". "it is time for a government bailout of journalism. Years of foolish policies have left us with a choice: 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 or jump ship, leaving us with nothing in our newspapers but ads, entertainment features and crossword puzzles. "
