Why is Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) supporting a bailout for newspapers?
the very last thing we need is more government-run media in USA.
(or media-run government, for that matter)
(or SorozNazi running both)
Local news sources are the capillaries of the deep state propaganda beast.
Newspapers and other media were given special privilege to remain open during the shutdown. They are a business. They sell news. They should figure out why folks don’t want to pay for their product.
He should tell them to sod off.
I like how the libs are using “asking” and “ask’ now.
My local newspaper is full of leftwing communists who use that bully pulpit to spew leftists propaganda and execute information warfare.
It not only should die, it must die.

this is too ridiculous for the Onion to print.
OMG!!!! How in the hell have I survived in my same community for 35 years and NEVER read a local newspaper here???? Am I dead or just a hologram??? /sarc
And two parts of the opening statements stand in stark contrast to each other - “During this coronavirus pandemic, access to accurate and trustworthy information” vs “Your local newspaper provides news and information unique to your community”. The political bias of the editors and authors inserted into the later makes the former impossible.
Lastly, the handwriting on the wall spelling out the financial death of local print media began in earnest many years ago and has had nothing to with the Wuhan Virus. The ad revenue has gone to where the readership traffic went - the Internet.
There are things we don’t actually like about that - the massive capturing and selling of personal data - but that is a separate issue. The death of print news media is what it is and the Wuhan Virus cannot be used as an excuse for it.
Sure, give the newspapers money with this qualifier: Nazis, communists and democrats need not apply.
