There’s been quiet a few stories recently about how the fuckers running the nations major newspapers are trying to get an antitrust exemption that will allow them to work together to put in place a pay-wall at the same time. They’ve had no luck with that little scheme. So apparently, they simply said fuck it, we’ll do it anyway and try to get together quietly themselves without letting anyone know. But, of course, you don't get a bunch of loud-mouthed newspaper execs together without someone either noticing or leaking the news... so it got out. And then the newspapers admitted it with a carefully worded statement about how they got together "to discuss how best to support and preserve the traditions of newsgathering that will serve the American public." Oh, fucking yes… Very noble. And, yes, they apparently had an antitrust lawyer or two at the meeting. Douchenozzles!
Pay up you bastards. Wendy needs a new yacht!
