Soros-funded group urges media run by government Marxist-led study has close ties to Obama White House officials

NEW YORK – A George Soros-funded, Marxist-founded organization calling itself Free Press has published a study advocating the development of a "world class" government-run media system in the U.S.

A newly released book, meanwhile, documents Free Press has close ties to top Obama administration officials. "The need has never been greater for a world-class public media system in America," begins a 48-page document, "New Public Media: A Plan for Action," by the far-left Free Press organization.

"Commercial media's economic tailspin has pushed public media to the center of the debate over the future of journalism and the media, presenting the greatest opportunity yet to reinvigorate and re-envision the modern U.S. public media system," argued the Free Press document, which was reviewed by WND.

We already have it. 5 networks controlling 95% of the channels. They all support Obama including Saudia/Fox.

The public like fools pay $50 to 100 or more and month for this. Each network gets $6 or more per serf.

Hmmm ... kind of segues nicely with Obama’s speech about Americans getting their information from unreliable sources, such as the internet and other technological “gadgets”.

“The need has never been greater for a world-class public media system in America,”

The MSM being state controlled already, this can only be a subterfuge to eliminate dissenting speech. More fascism.

We already HAVE a government run media. That is, whenever the left is in power.

A Free Press is the exact opposite of a government-run media... Orwell’s laughing at all those who don’t get this one...

Funny how Mr. Schwartz who escaped two oppressive totalitarian regimes (NAZI and Soviet) thinks a one world government where there would be no escape is a good idea. Smart but not wise. He’s 80. Hopefully Satan will not have a replacement.

Remember that Soros admited in his book to identifying Jews in his town in Hungary for teh Nazis. He’s a Nazi sympathizer. He has never believed in freedom — not then, not now.

The nice thing is that Joseph Goebbels has already done this, so Obama and his regime have a blueprint for the “Free Press” Ministry of Truth.
