…and you thought the “Fairness Doctrine” was bad.  How about having a Fairness Doctrine disguised as a bailout for all of the liberal newspapers which are headed the way of AIG?

Folks, this is something I knew was going to happen. So now, basically the government is going to bailout these newspapers, keep their non profit status and start dictating what they can and can’t include in their newspapers.

Senator Cardin states that the papers could not endorse candidates and would allow investors to make contrbutions. So, you might ask why the Senator is doing this? His answer? He says he wants to preserve a great American tradition.  Bullshit.  Pure and simple.  This is simply a new and improved printed version of the Fairness Doctrine intended to stifle the conservative voice of America once again.

Senator Cardin compares himself to a modern day Thomas Jefferson.  He feels that the government has an obligation to keep the public informed.  Informed about what? All of the corruption going on within?  We’ll certainly never see any of that in print again if this Bill passes.

I am so sick and tired of all the bailouts at the expense of the taxpayers and Senator Cardin wants to get yet another one through our corrupted system.

This bailout would give newspapers the option of restructuring as tax-exempt nonprofits. Did you know that they have always had this option?  Just look at the Associated Press.  If this Bill passes, not only will the government be able to tell CEO’s of large corporations what to do they will be able tell the newspapers what to print, when to print it, and where to distribute their papers.  Doesn’t this freak you out?  It’s like Big Brother watching your every step.
