“A truly free and independent press is the red beating heart of democracy and freedom,”

How is a press sucking on the government teat and simply acting as a PR agency for an incumbent political party "free" or "independent"?

You know it would probably be just as effective a use of taxpayers dollars to create a new Czar in charge of playing with all the “SuperPoke Pets” on Facebook.

That is at least as worthy an idea as Dan “What’s the Frequency” Rather’s.

Oh Danny boy, the network types are falling
From rags to rags, a downward market slide
Old Walters gone, and network powers are dying
‘Tis you, ‘tis you must go your face to hide.
But come ye back when hell feels cool and mellow
Or when the devils playing in the snow
‘Cause I’ll be here with fake TANG memo throbbing
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, you too must go.

And if you come, when all the networks dying
And they are dead, as dead I they can be
You’ll come and find the treasury is piling
up stacks of stimulus for buggy whips and thee.

I did have the satisfaction (not to mention a thousand giggles) of putting a Bush/Cheney sign in his front yard during the election. He was not here at the time, so it stayed there at least a month before someone saw it and removed it—LOL!

Why should ozero bail out the media? They already have one sided praising coverage. Kinda like getting free milk from the cow. And if the media continues to lose jobs, they will not report this because it looks bad for their guy. I think they are caught between a rock and a hard place. If they had been honest about ozero and the dims, they would all be fat and happy with fat balance sheets now. Sucks to be them.

What a waste! Trying to “save” something that is hell-bent on committing suicide...

One of my buddies put a Bush/Cheney sticker on the back of a liberal’s pickup. He always parked in the back line of the parking lot and would back into the space. That thing stayed on his truck for almost a full month. The lefty was HACKED when he found it.

We conservative, right-thinking Americans are soooooooooo evil, aren't we---LOL!

At least what we do is not harmful or destructive , and does not cost the taxpayers any money. Heck, in the long run, we might even educate some folks.

What was really ironic is when I overheard him and another lefty talking one day. They both agreed they would never work for a black man (actually used the ‘n’ word) or a woman and never vote for either one.

Just before they retired, they got a black boss. I think his selection may have accelerated their retirements. I also wonder who they voted for last year. Probably Ron Paul.
