I just wonder if the federal government is going to start subsidizing every newspaper when they all go bankrupt.

That idea has been floated by the Washington post...

They were infringed in the 1930’s when they banned full-auto. The Left keeps bringing that up.

They arleady are subsidizing them
Where would Goebbles be if he had no voice to the people to spout propaganda ?
These newspapers were previously trusted, as they use this past trust for continued subscriptions
as do national TV stations
but notice that viewership is constantly dropping, as are subscriptions
"We the people" are awakening , perhaps slowly ,.. but surely !
We prefer sites that encourage us to think , .. and not take news in '30 second sound bites', which have been pre-selected, and produced for entertainment.
We want knowldege ,.. not propaganda !

“I just wonder if the federal government is going to start subsidizing every newspaper when they all go bankrupt.”

Taxpayers are already subsidizing left wing trash newspapers. How do you think the execrable Washington Post survives? Its subscribers work in the Federal bureaucracy. In expenses, the bureaucrats include a line for the Washington Post subscription. The Post would have gone down the crapper long ago if not for subscriptions by bureaucrats, paid for by you and me. Congress could kill the Post at any time by passing a law forbidding the use of taxpayer money to subscribe to publications.

It was also brought up by college professors and the online University of Pheonix used it as a question for students. Asking them to say yay or nay and then use reason to support their position.

Another version was giving every American a “free” subscription to the daily paper of their choice. (too bad they are pretty much all uniformly leftist).

Some choice.
