The Atlantic ^ | 1/27/2015 | David A. Graham

Sometimes you can't believe what you read in the press. Can you imagine, for example, that a Republican governor with a reputation as a small-government conservative would try to launch a government-run news service to disseminate information under the guise of journalism? Oh ... wait:

Gov. Mike Pence is starting a state-run taxpayer-funded news outlet that will make pre-written news stories available to Indiana media, as well as sometimes break news about his administration,

Terrible, Terrible idea.

They act as if this is preserved in amber and will never change.

All history has shown that this is merely the thin edge of the wedge and it will quickly evolve into an arm of the State working against "We the People ... " instead of for them.

Govt HATES the people.

I reiterate, terrible, TERRIBLE idea!

While this smacks of Pravda, the real reason the left has it’s panties in a wad is that the Federal government already has its own news service. You can watch it weeknights at 6:30 Eastern time.

Well I have always like the guy but this business of expanding Medicaid in Indiana is a sellout. Our Governor is a borderline RINO and he had the guts to say no.

He’s trying to walk it back, but I don’t believe him.
