The New York Times wants a taxpayer funded bailout
- ThrowawayR2 7y agoThe actual article headline is "Bail Out Journalists. Let Newspaper Chains Die"
- ratsmack 7y agoThey are not essential to the overall health of the economy and in no way should be given a tax payer funded bailout. As far as the journalists go, they should be offered the same benefits as any other worker that lost their job. Just because they can write about their plight does not make them special.

- dragonwriter 7y agoThe current HN headline violates the rule demanding that the source headline be used unless it is clickbait,violates the rule that the HN headline itself must not be clickbait, and violates the rule that the HN headline should not editorialize on the content of the source article, and violates the rule (well, it should be a rule), that the HN headline should not literally invert the message of the source article, which does not argue that the NY Times or similar outlets should get a taxpayer funded bailout but rather that for-profit ad-driven media should be allowed to die and not be rescued by government, to allow a new model to emerge.
