There’s no question that the msm (or “approved” portions thereof) will receive a government subsidy under an 0bama presidency. All soviet style dictators require a propaganda arm.
Hence, it's no longer "The Main Stream Media", but rather "The Government Media" or "The New Government Media".
My coalescing theory is that it was "The Shadow Government Media" during the Bush Administration, dedicated to undermining the actual administration at every turn.
How are they going to deny it now, after their innumerable Palin suicide runs?
