| #12 With all of the bail-outs, there is pretty much no incentive for a company to be fiscally responsible and worry about the bottom line. Individuals with max'ed-out credit cards are not much better, the only difference is they don't have a "rep" on K Street. Free-market capitalism? Give me a freakin' break. |

| #11 I would think such a bailout would run afoul of Constitutional issues - specifically the 1st Amendment. No, not that part. The part that says Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion since the Press is one of the leading parts of the Religion called Progressivism. |

| #10 every time I see the news of this useless industry's impending death, I quickly remember the taxpayer bailouts of airlines, car manufacturers, et. al. Now that the precedent is set, no industry will ever die a natural (and in this case, a just-deserved) death. They will shortly be demanding their bailout and the taxpayer will once again take it in the shorts. It will be even more insulting knowing that we have to pay the people that hate us. |

| #4 Who needs them in the internet age when they are just regurgitating the raw AP/UPI feed with cosmetic alterations? They don't have competent people, it seems, covering local news and their are apps on the common smartphones handling business. Just die, already... |

| #3 Ironic, isn't it. Through their fear-mongering and TDS lust, they may have managed to deal themselves a mortal blow. My heart pumps peanut butter. |
