"I think Senator Cardin's bill is an excellent step to clarify those rules."

"If I had a choice between government without newspapers and newspapers without government, I wouldn't hesitate to choose the latter."

"It's clear to me that our newspapers are a check on, not just local government and the Federal Government, but on corporations, on businesses, on community activities."

"Simply put, the current model doesn't work."
