House Dems Propose $1 Billion in Subsidies for Local Newspapers - Lawmakers hope tax credits will revive industry as trust in media plummets [More]
I can't think of anything that would make me trust their political objectivity more than depending on Democrats for handouts.
And sorry, "conservative" outlets -- our "independent fact-checkers" say you people are a bunch of fake news Nazis so you're not eligible -- which is the excuse we'll use to do an end-run around accusations of First Amendment-violating censorship.

However, I'd trust our "conservative" outlets much less if they did in fact receive federal money.
They have trouble making it in the marketplace of ideas. Apparently they have trouble making it in the marketplace of news coverage as well.
Perhaps if they didn't make so much of it up they'd do better.
