Bail out journalism - Los Angeles Times

Bail out journalism - Los Angeles Times:
Other democracies pay for accurate reporting, so why shouldn't the U.S.?

This will be my last column for the L.A. Times. After four years, I'll soon be starting a stint at the Pentagon as an advisor to the undersecretary of Defense for policy.

Some might say I have a 'new job,' but because I'll be escaping a dying industry -- and your tax dollars will shortly be paying my salary -- I prefer to think of it as my personal government bailout."

    Someone might mention there is a government sanctioned and paid for paper out there already - it's called PRAVDA!
