My hometown newspaper, the Philadelphia Inquirer, has reportedly petitioned Governor Ed Rendell for a $10 million bailout. This story came to light only after the paper itself became the subject of a lawsuit for a series of articles it published questioning a Philadelphia’s school’s use of government funds.
Isn’t there a slight conflict of interest here? What happens to the paper’s vaunted objectivity in covering state and federal issues now that the government may in turn become the Inquirer’s sugar daddy?
Please stop laughing, this is a serious question

Who was the prescient correspondent who reported to you the news of Sarkozy's bail-out of the newspapers in France last week?
To which of his cyber personalities to you refer?
