No matter how you look at it,
government involvement in the free press is scary. There's no way we can trust in the government not to try to
change what is said once they get their fingers in there. At the same time, can news survive as it is?
Personally, I believe we are seeing no more than a transition. News on the web is not free. Advertisers pay for
that space and it is a huge market. Overhead costs are lower and circulation is far more extensive. In the end, the
printed news may fall but the free press is always going to be better off without the government involvement.
