Government funding will lead to the same level of control that the Obama administration has demanded of the financial institutions and auto manufacturers.  Obama and the Democrats will have the power to fire and replace editors and publishers with those who are friendly to their administration, policies and agenda.  Government censorship is a precursor to totalitarian control.

As the liberal Democrats continue to work to advance the Fairness in Broadcasting act, they are proposing control of the newspapers.

NO BAILOUT!!!!   GO BACK TO SCHOOL AND LEARN SOMETHING ELSE.......


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
