Looking at just how newsworthy Gibb’s ‘informational’ response on the Sestak affair is, won’t it be fun, if the government comes in to “save” journalism and journalists find themselves beholden to these non news spewers?
the FTC staff declares defeat in the search for business models so it may explore many government interventions, including:
* Expanding copyright law and restricting the doctrine of fair comment to benefit legacy publishers.
* Granting antitrust exemptions to allow publishers to collude on pricing to consumers and to business partners.
* Giving news organizations tax exemptions.
* Subsidizing news organizations by increasing government funding to public broadcasting; establishing an AmeriCorps to pay reporters; giving news companies tax credits for employing journalists; creating a national fund for local news, and giving the press an increased postal subsidy.
Ohh you are scaring me, they probably are ready to go on your plan!!!
