One other point as I skim the CJR piece: The MSM has dug itself into a hole here by its one-sided take on issues. There will be very little sympathy from conservative lawmakers for any kind of overt government subsidy for journalism as we now know it. There will be great distaste to support new Bill Moyers promoting only one side of the argument. If journalists had, as they proclaim, been more objective over the years, this resistance to their newfound desire for governmental assistance might not be as strident.

I did a post today playing off the NYT piece (as found in Romenesko) called “the myth of the 20 percent profit margin.”

The problem with most wishful thinking journalists is that they don’t understand business.

They think — subtract Wall Street and you have nirvana. The problem is, there’s no evidence except in an alternative universe that the lack of a profit motive leads to good journalism. In fact, all evidence points to the reverse being true.

i don’t think the public wants journalism; if they did, they wouldn’t watch television, which is nothing but propaganda. people cant handle the truth, which is why fox and cnn are the leading sources of “news.”
