Washington Post and CBS receiving money from ObamaCare Slush Fund

Two mainstream news organizations are receiving hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars from Obamacare’s Early Retiree Reinsurance Program (ERRP) — a $5 billion grant program that’s doling out cash to companies, states and labor unions in what the Obama administration considers an effort to pay for health insurance for early retirees. The Washington Post Company raked in $573,217 in taxpayer subsidies and CBS Corporation secured $722,388 worth of Americans’ money.

“It is fine with me if they continue covering the ObamaCare debate,” said Rep. Marsha Blackburn, Republican of Tennessee, in an e-mail to The Daily Caller. “When NBC used to cover energy issues, they identified themselves as a subsidiary of General Electric. CBS and Washington Post just have to disclose that they are subsidiaries of the Obama Administration.”

no end to the BS

[Gabrial]

This BO is really, really starting to stink.

[Carley]

And just look at the money laundering going on with Facebook.

O plans to run his campaign on Facebook and Zuckerberg gives Gibbs a job paying a million dollars.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Of course they are. Any organization bearing the hammer and sickle gets their shot at the government teat. After all, it isn’t Barry’s money. He don’t care who gets it as long as he and his commie ‘RAT comrades get their cut first.

MSM is just propaganda.

[PGR88]

Everyone is getting money from the Gov’t, except for me.

Everyone is getting money from the Gov’t, except for me.

No, there are at least two of us.

[madinmadtown]

It is worse than that, ...it is your money that is being used against you and all you stand for.

[ladyvet]

Count me in. I just paid did my taxes and am sick to think where they are going.

[GeronL]

I am not an “Objectivist” but Ayn Rand knew people like this backward and forward.

When Goldman Sach got involved with face-book. I assumed there a was bigger hidden agenda.

[Reo]

CBS and Washington Post just have to disclose that they are subsidiaries of the Obama Administration.”

Thank you, Marsha Blackburn, for the Quote of the Day

[Carley]

We can help ourselves by cancelling our Facebook account.

I did!

[DrC]

“Thank you, Marsha Blackburn, for the Quote of the Day”

Strongly concur. “wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Obama Administration” would have been even more accurate.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Whoa! Someone needs to flag this as THE story of the day!
Lamestream Media being DIRECTLY BOUGHT OFF by the Obama Administration. Need to start shouting this from the rooftops!

[NoGrayZone]

They truly are pushing us over the edge....on purpose. However, just like all their “best laid plans”, they will continue to be the party of unintended consequences.

Bring it on dumba$$es.

[synbad600]

Three.

[AnglePark]

The Tea Party, and other conservative groups, need to get behind a “cancel your Facebook account” movement. Facebook needs to take a serious hit for supporting Obama’s reelection.

[pepperdog]

No, don't cancel your account. Fight back, when you see some liberal talking points take them on. I've always been hesitant to do this as I didn't want to offend anyone, but that is now over. I have started debating them and suddenly there are others who agree with conservative ideas speaking out with me. Don't be afraid, just do it. There are young people on facebook who can actually think, but have never been exposed to conservative ideas and rationale.
