More Bailouts?
December 8, 2008
With newspaper subscriptions and television news viewership in sharp decline, will these agencies of establishment indoctrination be the next to clamor for congressional bailouts to overcome the losses suffered as a result of people seeking more forthright news reporting? They are certainly in a position to propagandize for such a program. I can just imagine Keith Olbermann and Bill O’Reilly embracing in a show of “bipartisanship” on behalf of such ends.
