OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT MEDIA……BROADCASTERS AT THE TROUGH

From The Wall Street Journal article, Minority Broadcasters Seek Federal Aid:

WASHINGTON—A group of minority broadcasters asked Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner Monday for financial assistance akin to the aid that has been extended to the financial and auto industries.

and….

The broadcasters appeal follows a proposal sent in May to Mr. Geithner by a group of influential House members asking for a minority broadcaster support program, bridge funding, or government-backed loans.

Strangely the outfit advocating this madness is named “Free Press”.

But….instead if a Free Press they actually are quietly setting the stage for a very expensive subsidized press.

It seems that under the guise of community standards and racial balance the Democrats will pursue officially sanctioned racism, using the power of government to force a division of public assets (broadcast frequency allocation and licensing) based on pigmentation. Martin Luther King must be spinning in his grave as we are asked to support racial balkanization rather than a color blind society.

This is wrong in so many ways.

You can count on the silence of the North Dakota congressional (Conrad, Dorgan, and Pomeroy) delegation on this one. Count on it.

Oh man great pic!  I forsee the leftist newspaper, tv and radio broadcasts will also continue dipping their hands in the government bailout programs.. how else will these continue to thrive to promote their liberal and socialistic agendas.  The hush hush table deals will work to take out anyone that opposes their ideals so all communication is geared toward our new regime (China) to whom owns us.

Pretty sure that those are actual American flags in the background, but…...it now seems entirely possible the the hammers and sickles were Photoshoped out. Unlikely but the policies do have a distinct resemblance to…. Could subsidized broadcasters become the American Pravda? Time to pull out your copy of 1984 for a review/preview?
