Maybe it is just my natural paranoia at work, but I get the gnawing feeling that somewhere, in a dark corner of the Obama Regime, there is a huddle of “Obamanites” in a whispered discussion in which they examine the possibility of a takeover of the press in the US.
I know, I know. It’s just another conspiracy theory, right? Could be. On the other hand, it IS what a socialist government does -- and make no mistake about it -- the United States is now a socialist state run by a socialist government… at least until November.
Look, bailing out the newspapers is the same as throwing money down a rat hole. What the papers need to survive is readers – subscribers. The are losing readers and subscribers, in droves, because their readers have finally caught on to what can only be described as the mainstream media’s “leftist agenda.” The bottom line is – readers don’t like it and are no longer reading those “leftist rags.”
If the Government does, indeed, devise some way to bail out the major newspapers in America, two things are certain: One – neither the government nor the newspapers will ever refer to it as a “bailout.” Number two -- the government will “own” those newspapers and the government will control what is printed or not printed in them. For a model of how this would work simply check the old Soviet Union.
In the area of North Carolina in which I live there are three daily newspapers. Major newspaper corporations own two of them and one is an independent. All three are leftist papers.

They can’t force me to read these rags.
They don’t need you to read them. They think long term when kids grow up reading them they don’t know anything else.
Hitler, Lenin, Ho, and who knows how many other tyrants came to power via heavy propaganda campaigns. Should it be any surprise that our own tyrants are trying the same thing?
This one won’t fly. They can plot and scheme.....but this one will NOT fly.
The only way they can really take over the media is they have to shut down free expression on the Internet. If you notice there have been hints of this, with net neutrality and 0bie’s speech about how there’s too much unregulated information causing people to be upset.
Is there really no way to stop them?
They already took over most of the media by infiltrating the schools of journalism and brainwashing two generations of journalism students into thinking that facts don’t matter and are even in the way, but that what should matter to “progressive” journalists is to write the news in any whatever ways will “change the world” into one big third world country, replete with corruption, disease, violence, and thought control.
The focus will be to slit the throat of the Conservative Press.

I spent a few days in Caracas a couple of years ago. Hugo was taking over the newspapers at that time. There was one favored newspaper whose featured columnist always had effusive comments about what wonderful, wonderful acts Hugo was giving the people. Soon thereafter, the competing newspapers were terminated.
My advice, don’t go to Venezuela.

They aren’t thinking about you or your kids. Commies plan many generations ahead. They can and may succeed unless people like you and me actively oppose them!
