It was encoraging to see President 0bama say he’s going to change focus to include small businesses.
Not that I believe him or think there should be any bailout, but at least he’s moving from the Bush/Mussolini policies of bailing out just the biggies. And it give something else to figure out what he is REALLY going to do and what his REAL motivation is with that statement.

Notice how leftist thought can’t survive without subsidies. Consider PBS, NPR, the various left-leaning artists. Now, why is that?

“They want the people to pay for the indoctrination.”
If the liberals love these papers so much, let them buy them. Let the liberals lose money. I refuse to pay for a newspaper I don’t like and won’t read.

I don’t want to pay for abortions either, or for aid to
people who come here illegally or a dozen other causes.
I get to stop it when I don’t pay tax anymore.

I do recall what Robert Heinlein said about state-supported artists... “Incompetent wh*res.”
And he was being rather kind and decorous, I think.

Newspaper articles = The old boring liberal words that fill the white space between the used car and supermarket ads on newsprint.

Journalists ask the taxpayers for a bail out.
Taxpayers say no.
You arrogant journalists have a nice day.

If it can’t stand on its own merits or strengths, then it is right for it to fail and leave it to those more tuned into delivering impartially constructed content, that readers can digest the contents on their own and make of it what they will and not just be pruveyors of propaganda that pushes a leftist agenda.
