Lee in the RED

Why does America have financial conspirators ready to prop up corporate prices/investor confidence?

Didn't we learn from ENRON, 2008, and BAILOUTS?
UPDATE: Lee posts 23% loss in Q4 ---"But expects improvement"--FROM WHERE?

Well Lee Enterprises have their own corporate conspirators.  Seeking Alpha claims Lee Enterprise stock will be above $2 (probably after the asteroid hits this year).  The price has not been above a dollar since May of 2011.

The income statement says -418% income growth for Lee Enterprises, and stock price of 0.69
