#1 Makes sense for the left to subsidize newspapers. They owe the papers their jobs after all.

#2 If the "Boston Globe family" is betting on Jawnny Boy to come through for them, then they are in deep, deep shit...

#3 If Churches were failing the Government would not step in because of "Separation of Church and State".

How about "Separation of Press and State". It will be interesting to see how they attempt to get around this one.

#4 State sponsored media. Biased. What the Extreme Left Radicals need. Oh, they already have that, but now WE will be told to pay for it.

#5 Liberals really believe that they're resisting total rightwing domination of the airwaves and newspapers. Seriously.

#6 The only diversity of opinion is on Fox News - which is why they are kicking ass of MSNBC and CNN combined. Just about everyone else is as diverse as Pravda.

#7 Money talks, bullshit is what the news media purveys.

Putting Money Where Mouths Are: Media Donations Favor Dems 100-1

Also posted to the wrong, but related thread.

#8 "America's buggy whip manufacturers are struggling to survive, and while there will be serious consequences in terms of the lives and financial security of the employees involved, including hundreds at Globe Buggy Whips, Inc., there will also be serious consequences for our democracy where diversity of whip selection and whip styles are paramount," Mr. Kerry said.

#9 It will be fun to watch the First Amendment challenges to whatever the Congress ~~vomits up/upchucks/hurls~~ enacts.

The Supremes should have fun deciding the meaning of "no law" and "abridging" and "the press", and maybe even take another whack at the anti-trust conflicts with all of the above.

Your tax dollars at work!
