What a slippery slope!
Can you say BIG BROTHER? Only allowing “serious” journalism…hmmmmm…what might that constitute?
The government in any kind of association with newspapers is a recipe for pure propaganda. That’s not to say we don’t get plenty of propaganda now, but we can still pick and chose among sources offered.
There are some news agencies (NPR) that actually try to stick to the facts, but even they have an agenda – who doesn’t?
If newspapers can’t figure out a business model to survive and adapt to the times, they don’t deserve to be in business anyway. News is a business, just like all the other ones struggling in this recession/depression (depends on who you talk too).

From Breitbart this morning:
Struggling media will need government help: US congressman
“The newspaper industry is suffering "market failure" and the government will need to help preserve serious journalism essential to democracy, an influential US congressman said Wednesday.”

Talk about a conflict of interest!
When the government takes over the newspaper and other information media we had all better start practicing our goose stepping.
