The New York Times is staying alive. A trickle of financial support has come by way of Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim, a trickle to the NY Time's iv drip bag which was surely to evaporate. Indebted, the Times must know Carlos Slim as Pecos Bill and Pecos Bill can call on any staff member as his pinche'-buddy.
Allow the other options, besides bailout (or bailouto), to serve as reference to other titles such as The Boston Globe and whatever Philly has/had. Without finance from outsidesources (yes! all one word) newspapers would have to charge people for making the news. What makes our news would be taxed in order to get in the black. Did you just resign from office? 79 cents. Did you just invent a new sport called Motolacrosse? 503 dolla. Somebody run a half-marathon in 2x the time? 21 k.
If we don't make the news than we shan't be taxed. So, meek! If we started caring for our civil responsibilities, we'd make headlines.
