Goddamit I'm agreeing with Jeff Jarvis

But, he's RIGHT. These "media bailout laws," to call them what they are, in Canada, California and New York, and possibly elsewhere in the future? They're pushed by big legacy newspaper companies. You know, the ones being raped by the hedge funds that own them.

They do nothing for your community newspaper, your start-up, your nonprofit newspaper, etc. (AdCouncil advertising, like "This is your brains on newspapers," per the old over-fried egg of "this is your brain on drugs," is one idea that would actually do that.)

And, carve-out loopholes like that in New Jersey make clear who's pushing this stuff.
