Ah, but what if Bush rigged the elections ala Chavez?

And for reference, a federal bailout of newspapers is under consideration by the Obama administration, so that scenario is not far away.

Then it would be illegal.

If there were not solid safeguards in the bailout against government interference in those papers then you would have a right to protest, it's a breach of freedom of the press. In fact I'd thoroughly encourage protesting it. However at the moment it's entirely unfounded speculation.
