Would you accept a Google-provided newspaper subscription?

What would it cost for Google to buy everyone in America a subscription to their local newspaper?

My idea for Google, in their quest to take over the world, is to prop up the suffering newspaper industry, thereby preserving a rich source of content and other data and providing a medium to extend their contextual advertising platform. They would also increase subscription numbers (obviously) so the number of eyeballs on the ads in the paper would be higher, thus driving up the ad prices.


I haven't figured out the economics behind this, but its Google, so I'm sure the cash is there.
