"Tyranny cannot be safe without a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace." James Madison

Given how the press fell for Obama during the campaign perhaps they will qualify for funds under the Faith Based Initiative

This is absolutely the most ridiculous proposal I have seen

This might explain Cardin's angst:

Liberal mainstream media titans are falling faster than snowflakes in a globally warmed December. On Monday, the mainstream media conglomerate Tribune Company, which includes the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, the Baltimore Sun, the Orlando Sentinel and Chicago’s WGN broadcasting company, among others, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection due to rapidly falling revenues and circulation induced by the loss of advertising dollars to Web-based publications

The Balto Sun, largest newspaper in MD, and very left is about to go under

  How stupid do you have to be... to think the right wing media tycoon Sam Zell, owner of the Tribune group, the hard right zionist neocon jew israel firster billionaire, is a liberal??? He fired every Journaiist in the Pultzer prize winning LA times, fired everyone at the Chicago Tribune, and turned both into an advertizing rag, so he could try and sell for a profit, just like your hero, the Austrailian Media Billionaire Murdock, and his tool, the right wing Isreal firster neocon hard right propandist Roger Ailes did at Faux Noise.
  
  Your loyality is to the political arm of the right wing billionaires, and if you weren't an obvious coward and an idiot, I'd consider you a traitor. But, your just one more Caribu Barbie voting moron.
  
  How stupid do you have to be, well, you don't have to wonder, just read the above insane faux noise crap and complete lies from the raving idiot, nos.

    Well gee antibrainwasher, then you agree with me - let them go out of business and NOT make them charities
    
    Why would you want to keep them in business?
