Government Taking Over The News Media
The Strata-Sphere ^ | 10-21-200 | AJ Strata

Posted on 10/21/2009 6:21:26 AM PDT by no-llmd

The recent calls to ’save’ journalists from their shoddy, inept and biased product is also the opportunity to force the communicators of news to due the bidding of those who sign their paychecks. In this case the signee will be the government (one question – will Curic and company be forced to cut their exec-like pay for the good of all the news people?). When the government is the life blood for those presenting the news, you know the America we knew for over 200 years is gone.

TAKE A PAIN PILL ! ! (and call the undertaker.)

I think the govt took over the media back in January. Prior to that, the media ran story after story about how they were losing money and having to lay off people. (Cry me a river you rats). Anyway, these stories just went away shortly after the made for tv event, where obama pretended to be sworn in as an actual president. Ever since, the media has been all obama, all the time. ABC did a propaganda piece from the White hut pushing for govt takeover of the medical industry with NO commercials. How did ABC pay their expenses for this little show? And back in September, someone made a huge withdrawal from the Fed, so there was LOTS of cash out on the street. Who pulled the money out? Why did the press suddenly drop all their whiney, poor me stories? Follow the money.

But it’s a benevolent takeover, you know.
So the media who voted for the benevolent dictator should be fine with it.
