Closer and closer to, as Rush says, “State run media”. When you can’t trust the media, it is truly over.

Jim, this does not suprise me at all. I knew this was coming, it was only just a matter of when. It is another effort for the Obama White House to have more control over the American press and also a sign that the new alternate media is becoming a powerhouse. =^..^=

Remember the book Hugo Chavez passed to Obama at the Meeting of the Americas? It was a “how to” manual (or maybe the infamous “To Serve Man” manual……).

So we “guarantee” everything eventually, making everything risk free. We also remove the necessity and positive result of eliminating something lousy (like many papers) from failing and being culled from the herd, so to speak. Could Obama be guilty of interfering with media Darwinism?

I guess all those kids in the government schools, where there is “feel good” grading, with happy, purple colors and no scoring in sports, will be well prepared for the “brave new world” of the Obamanation, where Obamanomics rules, nobody fails, and mediocrity is the rule of the day. Too bad for them the rest of the world doesn’t practice this mushy crap with their kids.

Pardon my stupidity, but how do we maintain “freedom of the press” when the press is being funded by the government? Did I miss something?
