Newspapers

The Newspaper industry wants protection from emerging and better news sources.

I could go on and on how the very main problems we see in the news today: healthcare, energy, marijuana, etc. are DIRECTLY derived from this kind of action, but that's for other people with more time.

I just have to say this. I have had to switch jobs 3 times in the past year, so fuck you whining writers and your society destroying protectionist schemes. Go be a blogger or work in/create new forms of information communication. Do something productive.

As an aside, who wants to bet me that the this Net Neutrality bill that's being worked on has proponents that are receiving money from the newspaper industry. I have 20 bucks on the table.

Good Luck
