Democrats To Save Newspapers

"This may not be the optimal choice for some major newspapers or corporate media chains but it should be an option for many newspapers that are struggling to stay afloat," said Senator Benjamin Cardin.

Let them fold! Do I like reading the paper now and then? Yes, but it is the thing of the past. Why must we hold on to them?

Cardin's Newspaper Revitalization Act would allow newspapers to operate as nonprofits for educational purposes under the U.S. tax code, giving them a similar status to public broadcasting companies.

For one Public broadcasting shouldn't be getting tax breaks, since they swing so hard on the political spectrum, but newspapers? Newspapers are not educational. This sounds like to me just another throw back to people that helped get someone in office.

Don't the people in Washington have more important things to worry about?
