What help would a bailout do anyway? If no one buys the paper, and then they would have to generate some advertizing revenue, but who would buy a spot in the paper if no one reads it.

Everyone would pay for the paper through taxes. The Post Office would deliver it with the mail. And, just like the post office has a legally-enforced monopoly on first-class mail, the nationalized papers would have a legally-enforced monopoly on advertising.
