If they make them non profit, livery stables will come back.
Actually the earliest papers not only were “non profit,” they had regular losses and were routinely subsidized by the political parties. So I guess not much has changed.
Ummmmm... Barry?? “Losing money hand-over-fist” is NOT the same as “non-profit”...
“Where, you ignorant marxist fool, do you get the authority to “consider” doing ANYTHING WHATSOEVER about the newspapers.”
You don’t need the authority when you trash the Constitution like he does. Where does he get the authority to do any of the things he wants....?? You don’t - you just know you can ramrod it through a (D) Senate and HOR.
Everyday this guy scares me more and more. I hope we can wait this out for another 3 1/2 years....
More anti-Constitutional BS from the anointed one and his 0bamunist minions.
There is absolutely NO Constitutional authority for about 75% of the stuff the government is doing, and that includes this patently offensive notion.
IMPEACH THE BASTARD NOW.
Any newspapers that want to convert themselves to nonprofit status and operate under the current laws are welcomed to do so.
But the idea of our government legislating some windfall for an overwhelmingly left-leaning, bloated, group of supposedly ‘serious’ journalists rather than the more nimble new media press that has sprung up across an actually representative political spectrum is abhorrent. And our wimpy Republican pols should shout this down loud and early.
Well....all businesses who lost money last year should write a letter to him asking be be declared non-profit.
People who bought the services Newspapers had to sell, found more bang for their buck elsewhere.
Oh goody! /sarc
American Pravda on the horizon.
Hello PBS & NPR in print.
Can you hear me now, Winston Smith?
Non-profit? Another way of saying, “government controlled”
Great way to control what comes out in the newspapers - OWN THEM.
The Obama Administrations plan to bailout the newspapers in three easy steps:
1. The Federal Government will procure taxpayer money to be used for the newspaper industry.
2. ?
3. Profit

Good journalism, Obama told editors of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and Toledo Blade in an interview, is “critical to the health of our democracy
Uh hey Barry.. America is NOT a Democracy. It is a REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC. As in you are supposed to represent us not Socialism Communism Marxism Terrorism Obamaism etc.
And they say they won’t bring back the fairness doctrine. Y’all are right- it gets scarier every day.
If they make them non profit, livery stables will come back.
I thought you couldn’t be tax exempt if you were politically active?
Not that, that has stopped the NAACP, NARAL, NOW, Greenpeace etc.
