Bailout For Newspapers?

Why? Why would anyone think about doing such a stupid thing?

Yeah, right. Bail out a bunch of purveyors of half-truths, hiders of many facts, spinners, manipulators and snake-oil salesmen?

Let the free market decide who survives and who doesn't.

What's next, bailout requests for the guys on the street who sell kids dope? Bailout the pimps and hookers? Bailout the bums and squeegee kids?

If we went a hundred years into the past, we'd suddenly see folks demanding a bailout package for the buggy whip industry despite the reality that the automobile is here to stay and regular folks are now able to buy 'em.... besides, wouldn't it be nice to get rid of all that stinky horseshit one can't help but encounter no matter where one turns?

Let's just get our news online. That's where it's at. No more blackened fingertips, besides! Of course, we'll have to find something else to read on the throne...
