The future of journalism

With the advent of the internet traditional new outlets are taking a major hit. Those traditional outlets are arguing that their role in our society is so critical that the Fed should bail 'em out. Well the FTC has a working paper on the subject that more or less calls for federalization of the media. Considering just how far the head of the mainstream media is up the ass of the current administration I'm not sure what the difference will be other than from where the paycheck will come.

When that happens kiss the First Amendment goodbye. We'll have a Ministry of Propaganda Information to run the show and what we'll get from it is Pravda.
