Obama Appointee Suggests Radical Plan for Newspaper Bailout

Influential Los Angeles Times columnist Rosa Brooks has hung up her journalistic hat and joined the Obama administration, but not before penning a public proposal calling for some radical ideas to help bail out the failing news industry.

Brooks, who has taken up a post as an adviser at the Pentagon, advocated upping “direct government support for public media” and creating licenses to govern news operations.

“Years of foolish policies have left us with a choice: We can bail out journalism, using tax dollars and granting licenses in ways that encourage robust and independent reporting and commentary, or we can watch, wringing our hands, as more and more top journalists are laid off,” she wrote in her parting column on April 9.

Brooks said this would help rescue the industry from a “death spiral” and left the government unaccountable to the journalists who must keep it honest. “[I] can’t imagine anything more dangerous than a society in which the news industry has more or less collapsed,” she wrote.

I don't know how much more of Obama's Amerika I can take... It started off to be "an outrage a day", now I can barely keep up with all the outrages.

WHAT is happening to our beloved country???

Obama Appointee Suggests Radical Plan for Newspaper Bailout

Thank you for saving me the trouble of searching for Ms Brooks' earlier story. Ms Brooks arguably projects her own feelings onto her "liberal" label. A judicious juxtaposition of Ms Brook's words seems to reveal the source of Ms Brooks' giddiness.

Liberals haven't had so much fun in decades. ... I'll be escaping a dying industry -- and your tax dollars will shortly be paying my salary -- I prefer to think of it as my personal government bailout. ... I feel lucky to parachute out before some cost-cutter eliminates every last column. ... we can watch, wringing our hands, as more and more top journalists are laid off ... "death spiral" ... the news industry has more or less collapsed ... A decimated, demoralized and under-resourced press corps
