Newspaper bailout to be considered by Obama

Obama is open to newspaper bailouts. Government Banks, Government Motors, now Government Press (the formalizing of it). He finds non-traditional media not as compliant in selling his message.

• Says blogs don't lead to "mutual understanding" (ie he can't control what is "news" so well with them).

The Hill, Obama speaking to media members: ""I am concerned that if the direction of the news is all blogosphere, all opinions, with no serious fact-checking, no serious attempts to put stories in context, that what

• you will end up getting is people shouting at each other across the void but

• not a lot of mutual understanding," he said."

• Shouting was OK when the Silent Majority meekly shut up for the past 8 years while the left had loud protests against George Bush's policies and the Iraq War. Now the left and the press control all 3 branches of government, so they are pleased with the Iraq War. And they absolutely love the war in Afghanistan.
• (Much of the Silent Majority was displeased with Bush's policies and his handling of Iraq, said so at the time, but nobody listened to them. That started them on the road to today's gatherings).
