Asked by Fox about a government bailout for newspapers, Murdoch said News Corp. would never take government money.

I wonder if this will ever come back to haunt him?

Can I wrap a fish with a digital news file?

Can I line my birdcage with a digital news file?

Can I snip out individual words and glue them in a threatening note with a digital file?

Newspapers still have a use.

If it happens buy stock in wrapping paper companies. You'll make tons of cash!

Many newspapers are closing nationwide. Wether it is because of lack of acknowledgement, NYT was subsciption only a few years back, or internal inertia, were a newspaper damit, who can tell? Perhaps poor, bias reporting has claimed some.

The inter-web is the current and prolly future for news agencies.

Almost all newspapers are in decline, and are in troubles. Problem is that in most cases their digital editions do not match the quality of the print versions, at least that is true for most german examples.

It is sometimes said that the lower quality of a source is compensated by the greater range of sources, but after having used the internet for many years now, I disagree. It seems to me that a greater range of inferior sources does not give you a generally better level of information quality but - what a surprise - more ammounts of just bad information.

Governments and economy tycoons will like it. An ill-informed public is a public more prone to propaganda and manipulation. What you don't know you cannot put into question. what you accept as a certainty you will not only not criticise - you will not even see a need to critically reflect over it.
