CHICAGO Newspapers perform a public service for democracy and should be allowed to operate as tax-exempt non-profits, U.S. Sen. Benjamin Cardin, D.-Md., proposed Tuesday.

^^^^^^

The Baltimore SUN, which has never met a Republican that it liked, is owned by the Chicago Company that also owns the LA Times.

Ben Cardin is a career politician from Baltimore.

No connection here!

Government run Pravda.

First they came for control of the Financial industry, the Banks and the money, but I did not speak out because I was not involved with Banks.

Then they came for the Newspapers and media, but I did not speak out because I was not working for those corporations.

Then they came for the utility industries, gas, power and transportation but I did not speak out because I was not employed by those companies

Then they came for me, and no one was left to speak out for me.

When will ACORN, International ANSWER, the Communist Party-USA, MoveOn, Kos and that crew be starting their own “non-profit” newspapers do you think? I’m sure I’m not the first to think of it?

It is like throwing them a lead life preserver. They’re going down no matter what. This gives them a few more seconds.

The only people I know that regularly read hard copy newspapers are over 65 and/or have a dial up connection or no internet.

There is one rule that they cannot announce any support of a political candidate - of course all the stories can.

Just like no tax exempt religious organization can endorse a candidate yet Dems are always campaigning in churches.

I get it...

A pro-Liberal institution fails...it gets tax-exempt status.

But talk radio is being slammed...

The Libs have no conscience.
