NYC Mayor: Things Might Go More Smoothly If The City Ran The Newspapers
Hotair ^ | 12/21/2017 | Jazz Shaw

Back in early November, we talked about the little-noted demise of two of the weekly local papers in New York City, the Gothamist and DNAinfo. At the time, I noted that it was really a sad development because papers like that have the somewhat unique ability to focus all of their time and resources on covering local news which is often drowned out amidst all the national and global stories which eat up the front pages of the bigger papers. Those two outlets broke many stories about municipal corruption and waste, as well as keeping a finger on the pulse of how New York City denizens were reacting to current events.

“The City” here means corrupt democrats...

Hey Mayor - no one’s stopping you from buying a printing press or buying time on one... Just hire some propagandists and print out your stuff.

That’s too dismissive. It’s not that simple. I dislike De Blasio and think he’s a buffoon, but all I know about him is from the various Newsmedia I read. So it makes me wonder about the Newsmedia I read.

Charles XII of Sweden, Darius of Persia and Napoleon are sitting at a bar, watching a military parade on CNN. Impressed by modern technology Charles XII says - “Man, if i had mechanised infratry like that I’d have kicked ass at the Poltava battle.”

Darius replies - “And if i had artillery like that the Greeks wouldn’t stand a chance at the battle of Marathon.”

Napoleon sighs and says - “And if I had a propaganda machine like the CNN nobody would have found out about the Waterloo.”

They could call it Pravda.

There is no Izvestiya in Pravda, and there is no Pravda in Izvestiya.

Sure... things will be just peachy if the govt. runs the propaganda ministry - oops, I mean the newspapers!

Or, at least you won’t hear about the things that aren’t so peachy.

Just like in the former Soviet Union, North Korea and other totalitarian states.

Wilhelm(his real name) is a communist and totalitarian.

You just need one paper. Name it Pravda. And ban all others. Then New York will have the newspaper it deserves.

I think I read that the vote turnout was really really low and he had no opposition from the New Castrati, i.e. the NYC Republicans, if they even exist. Same with Kahn being elected mayor of London -— no or weak opposition from the Tories and low low low turnout. A few votes put them into power.
