would expect that to be true on the super committee, whether you have the pragmatist arm like camp and upton or the hardliners, hensarling, toomey on the senate side. so i do think one big relates volatility we were talking about, the administration is looking at ways to spur economic growth. that is a separate discussion from what to do about deficit reduction medium and long-term. one of the questions facing the white house, are those separate packages or do you roll them all together and try to load all of that on to the super committee? we'll see what they decide on that score. >> in fact, given what's happening in the economy, there may be less pressure to actually meet those targets and do at least near term deficit reduction because many would argue that's the last thing people need, other than long-term credibility that it's going to happen at some point in the future. >> or you could do near-term stimulus and then double up on the amount of savings at the special committee. >> all decisions that have to be taken in the white house and at treasury in coming days. thanks so much, john

many years ago, upton sinclair wrote a classical study of journalism. he said that the advertising model does not work. clearly, it does work, but the main thing that is missing from what everyone has been talking about so far is the consumer. when i read long form of journalism, which i write, i print it out. when i mounted an investigation of the region's last year of california, i collected about $7,000 from individuals and parlayed it into six print journeys, seven weeklies. got a lot of national coverage. it made some difference in people's lives, but i did not take a dime from any corporation. ok? so let's talk about how we go back to the model where people who need investigation, news -- because my duty is not to reflect corporations. let us not be proud that we are moving forward because we do not have journalist unions anymore. that's going back to selling the news that people need, and get rid of the middle man, which is turning out to be a lot of publishers. >> first, thank you for bringing that up. a great question. it gives me the opportuni
