Government subsidies to the press won't influence their "journalism" at all. Not one bit. Nope.

On the other hand, is it even possible that they could be more pro-Dem / pro-Commie than they already are today?

In those wretched countries where a man cannot call his tongue his own, he can scarce call anything his own. Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech; a thing terrible to publick traytors
Benjamin Franklin, July 9, 1722 in the New England Courant. He was writing under the pseudonym "Silence Dogood." Franklin was just sixteen when he expressed that!
