Bami Open to Newspaper Bailout…

Posted on 20 September 2009 by Mr. Harrington

Yes, folks.  Barack Obama is “happy to look at” bills that would bailout newspapers…

Barack Obama said journalism is “critical to our democracy.”

He is true, but he should have phrased it as, “Good journalism is critical to our democracy when it is not beholden to the government.”

Obama went on to say,

“I am concerned that if the direction of the news is all blogosphere, all opinions, with no serious fact-checking, no serious attempts to put stories in context, that what you will end up getting is people shouting at each other across the void but not a lot of mutual understanding.”

Clearly, the only fact-checking going on is on the blogosphere.

Also, we are putting some stories into context and will have it for you soon.  The only shouting will be that of “Extra!”
