Assuming Gibbs speaks the truth, and we don't get a flip, that's good news!Asked in his Monday briefing if the White House would consider bailing out the newspaper business, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters the government may not have the power to reverse the industry’s decline.
“I don’t know what, in all honesty, government can do about it,” Gibbs said in response to a question about the Boston Globe’s financial struggles.
Noting that it's a "bit of a tricky area to get into," given the relationship between the White House and the media, Gibbs said President Barack Obama “believes there has to be a strong free press" and expressed "concern and sadness" over the state of the industry.
The LAST thing we need is for our media to be powered by the government.

Excellent. It's nice to see they're not rubber stamping all of Obama's wishes.House Democrats are refusing to pay for President Barack Obama's plan to relocate prisoners from the Guantanamo detention facility where enemy combatants are being held.
However, there appears to be a major caveat (I'm not sure how this works)...
What the heck does that mean? Obama can steal the $ by skipping Congress?The step is not likely to be the last word, however. If needed, money could be transferred later—without a politically difficult vote.
