Almost all corporate media are in financial trouble except CNN.
CNN receives programming reimbursement from the U.S. State Department via The Bureau of International Information Programs; the same State Department program that pays Facebook for content. CNN is not as reliant on ad revenue because they get tens of millions from the U.S. State Department.
” CNN is not as reliant on ad revenue because they get tens of millions from the U.S. State Department.”
Not for long!
Whoa!! That’s a biggie too! I followed the links, to more links, but there was nothing actually documenting that the US State Dept. pays CNN tens of millions of dollars.
I can’t spend all night trying to run this down: Can anyone solidly document it?
The states have never delegated to Congress, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to appropriate taxes for such a purpose.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Corrections, insights welcome.
