Bailout for newspaper is nonsense

The Bristol Press is about to be extinct because its publisher Journal Register is in too much debt. A local lawmaker from Connecticut, Frank Nicastro, wants to be its savior and has asked the state government for assistance, citing "The media is a vitally important part of America."

That's very true, but how can a newspaper be objective if it is receiving government money? Free press wouldn't be free in that sense.
