So who decides which "presses" get funded and which ones don't? Can I get paid fulltime to write all day about my dog and my garden? Would I be allowed to use my 'free press' to threaten people with bodily harm? To organize a prison break? There are probably a lot more questions like these, but they are a start.

@ElwoodBlues I submit that you're nitpicking, and that you already know the answer.

@ElwoodBlues that's easier than you want it to be.

@Stopmakingsense You mean I can get a full time salary writing about my dog and my garden?

@ElwoodBlues is that what you think journalism in the public interest is? Or do you always smart off when you're wrong?

@Stopmakingsense I think "journalism in the public interest" is in the eye of the beholder and not amenable to a legal definition.

@ElwoodBlues we've done it it before.

@Stopmakingsense We've decided which for-profit media companies deserve public money and which ones other for-profit media companies have to fend for themselves?
