NBC News Digital, NY Times and WashPost’s Union Votes to Request 'Public Financing for Journalism’
NewsBusters ^ | 5/4/2020 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 05/04/2020 3:30:32 PM PDT by JV3MRC

One of the premier national unions for liberal outlets such as NBC News Digital, The Washington Post and The New York Times actually voted to request the government finance the news industry with taxpayer dollars. Surprisingly, it was The Times that released the story Sunday May 3. The article noted how the president of the “most prominent journalists’ union in the country, the NewsGuild, crossed a line that once seemed unimaginable: He asked the government for money.” Then came the kicker: “The guild’s leaders voted to request “‘public financing for journalism.’” NewsGuild President Jon Schleuss said that “One thing we can't remain objective about is our own demise."

The same Leftists who decry people going back to work and criticizing those who bemoan the current stock market want their stock market funded pension plans bailed out.

Making it real. They already are the mouthpiece of the bureaucracy and repeat any bureaucracy announcement without questioning it. They do this no matter how false or insane the govt’s announcement is.

"And Newsbusters no longer has Disqus."

You mean they no longer have a "comments" feature? I stopped going there about a month ago because, whenever I went there, my computer would be compromised and would lock-up. I wonder if they were under some sort of cyber attack, and that's why they stopped using Disqus.

This, from an Enemedia MORE than deserving of a fate worse
than death for its enthusiastic, knowing, contructive and
malicious delivery of false narratives and fake news.

I find myself disinclined to acquiesce to their request.

And they do not want to know what I WOULD vote for, for them.

Well, Hitler’s Government supported Goebbels with Public Funds. There is a precedent after all.

As a retired newspaperman, I would gladly assist you in that endeavor.

When I got into the biz in the early 1980s, I promised the Lord that I would never use the writing talent He gave me to frighten or slander people.

I believe I kept my word over 25 years.

Mind you, I took up newspapering in my late 20s, straight out of the Army. That military experience and the little extra maturity helped me a lot, compared to the typical recent graduate who got into journalism “because I want to change the world.”

To them I say: Get your head out of the clouds, follow the facts wherever they lead you, and get your copy in on time.

Couldn't have those "Jooooooos" funding the Berliner Tageblatt, now could we?

Instead, we need to defund NPR and defund PBS — because we’re already being forced to pay for DNC party organs.
