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?
