Great news, but what are the odds of a Dinosaur Media Bailout bill, once the leftist politicians realize that their perennial enablers are in serious trouble?

Not likely, in my opinion. But that won’t prevent them from trying.

We've been FReepmailing about The Creation of the Media by Paul Starr.

The history Starr presents might make you less sanguine about that
(I told you there were some challenges in that book).

I'm under no illusion whatsoever about the extent of the historical ties between the Drive-By Media and Organized Government. Organized Government = Organized Crime?

Larry Schweikart (LS) thinks the future of newspapers is that the political parties will subsidized and operate them as house organs as was done in the 1800's. My thinking is that we won't be able to tell the difference from how it is now, lol.
