15. I don't think they were saying they wanted the federal government to take it over.

I think they wanted it declared a part of the Fourth Estate.

It would be no more nationalized than the NYT or WaPo--neither is owned and run by a Department of the Media, Press department, with an assistant cabinet secretary in charge of approving on behalf of the government the major editorial stances of the organizations.

We don't have Liturkas, Pravdas, or Izvestiyas. And shouldn't.
