Hey why not since the New York Slimes et al perform beneficial propaganda for us Dems in Gooberment. Time to bailout and payoff.

[Uncle Hal]

We know how balanced public radio and TV are. Of course the MSN is already liberal so I guess not much is lost. However I do not like the precedent.

[bestrongbpositive]

Maybe they can recommend bringing back the “Edsel”. They had a business model also !! How about 8 track tapes ??

CHICAGO Newspapers perform a public service for democracy and should be allowed to operate as tax-exempt non-profits, U.S. Sen. Benjamin Cardin, D.-Md., proposed Tuesday.

^^^^^^

The Baltimore SUN, which has never met a Republican that it liked, is owned by the Chicago Company that also owns the LA Times.

Ben Cardin is a career politician from Baltimore.

No connection here!

Government run Pravda.

First they came for control of the Financial industry, the Banks and the money, but I did not speak out because I was not involved with Banks.

Then they came for the Newspapers and media, but I did not speak out because I was not working for those corporations.

Then they came for the utility industries, gas, power and transportation but I did not speak out because I was not employed by those companies

Then they came for me, and no one was left to speak out for me.

My, what inventive ways to make payoffs. Even after you have emptied the treasurey.

Ben is the POS who defeated Mike Steele to becom the Machine politician Democrat to represent my state of Maryland, He and the Dyke Midget will vote for anything they are told to vote for, they have no minds of their own.

Why can’t GUN STORES get Tax Exempt status, then???

[2ndDivisionVet]

When will ACORN, International ANSWER, the Communist Party-USA, MoveOn, Kos and that crew be starting their own “non-profit” newspapers do you think? I’m sure I’m not the first to think of it?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

The Angry Senator strikes again!

Maryland “Freak State” PING!

[IsaacDavis]

Anybody read “Atlas Shrugged” lately?

[wac3rd]

I get it...

A pro-Liberal institution fails...it gets tax-exempt status.

But talk radio is being slammed...

The Libs have no conscience.

[unixfox]

My business is suffering too!

Hey, I have an idea, how about making ALL businesses tax exempt? Implement a Fair Tax or Flat Tax and watch the economy go berzerk.

I know, it's too easy for the dolts in Washington to figure this out.

[Psycho_Bunny]

Cardin is not worthy of his office

[LibertyRocks]

Just another bailout...

Then again... with the depth of their devotion to the Obamessiah they might as well get a “church-based” tax exemption!!! ;)

Beam me up Scotty. There is no intelligent life down here.

[BlueNgold]

And we all know how impartial NPR and PBS are...

[Antoninus]

Hey, why not just rename them the “Ministry of Propaganda” and be done with it?

"As local papers are closing, we're losing a valuable tradition in America

I said the same thing about wax cylinder recordings, vinyl records, and 8-track tapes.
