Freedom of the press?

Nancy Pelosi wants to bail out the newspapers. It's no secret that the newspapers she is on a mission to save are not media that work to help conservatism, they work to help liberalism.

She writes "We must ensure that our policies enable our news organizations to survive and to engage in the news gathering and analysis that the American people expect." [source]

But of course, that doesn't apply to news gathering and analysis that more American people tune in for and expect on talk radio - she wants them out of business.

It is not the job of the federal government to bail out the media outlets that fail and attack the media outless that overwhelmingly succeed. It's their job to ensure freedom of speech, and freedom of the press.

    Well actually I'd say the federal government's job is to impede free speech. Just going off of history, at least. :)

    I agree gRegor. The government was supposed to protect our rights based on our founding documents. Now they're all about restricting those rights.

    But the founders made it clear, that our basic rights are not granted or denied by government, they are recognized or violated, and it's the people's job to make sure they are recognized.

    Then we vote in these politicians who want to strip us of the right to bear arms, freedom of the press, freedom of speech and the free exercise of religion.

    The people (being us, the voters) aren't doing a very good job.
