Being a nonprofit has its challenges, but believe me, it cuts back on a lot of the stupid pressures that can interfere with proper newsgathering.
Jeff Bezos should be a hero and donate the Washington Post to a charity. Bezos would get a big charitable deduction; the rest of us would get a newspaper dedicated to the public interest. This post from Steven Waldman is from a year ago but it's still a great idea. www.cjr.org/opinion/wald...
