Free Press Panders for Taxpayer Funded Obama Propaganda
Posted Under: Uncategorized
WedNEWSday - May 27th, 2009
A socialist-oriented “media reform” group with ties to the Obama Administration is calling for new federal programs and the spending of tens of billions of (taxpayers’) dollars to keep journalists employed at liberal media outlets and to put them to work in new “public media.”
As part of the proposed new “media infrastructure,” Free Press is calling for a $50 billion “Public Media Trust Fund” to underwrite the creation of new jobs for journalists and the use of the existing federal AmeriCorps program “to include journalistic activities as part of its mission” in the form of “journalism positions” and “journalism projects.” AmeriCorps is a federally-funded national and community service agency.
The group is also urging a direct federal bailout of liberal media institutions, declaring that “The Department of Labor could design a program aimed at keeping reporters employed at existing news organizations or at new outlets.” Free Press explains, “If the government were to subsidize 5,000 reporters at $50,000 per year, the cost would be $250 million annually, a relatively modest sum given the billions coming out of Washington.”
In addition to the $50-billion “Public Media Trust Fund,” another one of the proposals from the Free Press group is a $50-million “government-seeded innovation fund for journalism,” described by Craig Aaron of Free Press as “a taxpayer-supported venture capital firm that invests in new journalism models.”
Free Press needs to smarten up and realize that ‘mainstream media’ outlets are circling the drain because they are out of touch with and fail to speak to ‘mainstream’ Americans. Let the free-market work. Americans will reject the bias, Neo-Marxist garbage on television and radio (as they have) and will ‘buy’ (watch and listen to) from those who share their values: God, family, country, hard-work, personal accountability, individual freedom, etc. There is an old saying, ‘Liars figure, but figures don’t lie.’ The ratings don’t lie.
Please watch Glenn Beck and Michael C. Moyniham, Senior Editor of Reason Magazine, discuss how ridiculous the concept of government funded media is.
