When he said;

When ever government sees something successful they want to tax it. When it still keeps performing well, they regulate it. When it starts to wither and die, they subsidize it.

We see this wisdom now playing out in the field of news media. Products such as CNBC, NY Times, LA Times, CBS, etc all failing. So we must 'save' them and not let the market place decide. Hmmm...As a lover of classical music Ive longed debated asking my Congressman to ask for federal subsidies to my local classical music station. I now think Im justified in doing so.

I Always thought that the freedom of the press was to be protected at all costs. Goes to show that liberals really have no standards but those that promote liberalism. ACLU where are you!!!!!

Why do the anchors have sexual identity issues, I mean femmie Kieth is as far from being a man than you can be while Rachel Mandow might actually be a man. Rachel....you need to tone it down girl, your outward attempt to be manly is both gross and repulsive. Granted you play to the homo msnbc crowd as does Kieth, but the rest of us should not have to syffer.

We should combine all the press into one and call it "Truth" and get our troops to learn goose-stepping for some May day parades. Our beloved leaders should wear sable-fur hats for the reviews.

Anita Dunne is a dangerous person to have as the White House Communications Director with the abhorrent beliefs she possesses.

She and her communist buddies that pass as Obama's advisors makes me sick andd very fearful for the future of this country!
