With everyone talking Pay-to-play over the Blowhard, now we hear pay-to-read. While everyone grew up paying a weekly sum for their local paper, There would be too many deferring ideas to support one reporter.

I believe this will work itself out , put it's going to involve a lot of stream lining. I believe in the last generation, reporters got a sense of privilege that was out of proportion with the occupation. Everyone wanted to be rich and famous like Bob Woodward.It's time to rein it in, and I believe in some kind of way the web will keep everybody honest. ( a lot like Newstrust).
