Some Democrats want to use coronavirus bailout money to help news organizations. You weigh in.
A group of Democratic senators last week proposed using the next round of coronavirus stimulus money to help struggling local news outlets.
"Local news is in a state of crisis that has only been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic," the senators wrote in a letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and the Senate Appropriations Committee.
Here is your chance to weigh in on whether tax dollars should be used to bail out news organizations.
Do you think tax dollars should be used to bail out news media organizations, as some Democrats have proposed?

No,, of course, They did this exact thing in 2008-2009 when corporations were lining up for their ‘bailouts’.

Paying for anti-American propaganda is out of the question.

No. We should burn the old media down and start our own media. As we're doing.
They get enough money from China, already.

Bail out???
I wouldn’t even loan them a parachute if they were going to bail out of an airplane.
To: bitt
Only if FR and all other conservative media get it too. That should stop this in its tracks dead.

I thought they were considered “essential” why would they need a bail out.
