Extra! Extra! The Banner Headline Announcing the Demise of Newspapers Will Be Read on the Internet

Michael Kinsley writes, "You may love the morning ritual of the paper and coffee, as I do, but do you seriously think that this deserves a subsidy? Sorry, but people who have grown up around computers find reading the news on paper just as annoying as you find reading it on a screen." The late Tom Braden's replacement on Crossfire scoffed at the notion of a bailout for print news: "A newspaper industry that was a ward of the state or of high-minded foundations would be sadly compromised." Indeed. Now why can't liberals apply this logic to PBS and NPR?
