Supporters argue that the new consolidation rule will help a flailing newspaper industry remain competitive in an era when readers are abandoning papers for the Internet and "The Daily Show."

What will help a "flailing newspaper industry" is to stop writing tabloid trash and focus on good journalism. The solution is most certainly not to allow newspapers to buy radio and TV stations which would reduce diversity and allow them to spread their failed business model to yet more industries.
