The newspaper that obstructs the law on a trivial pretext, for money’s sake, is a dangerous enemy to the public weal. That awful power, the public opinion of a nation, is created in America by a horde of ignorant, self-complacent simpletons who failed at ditching and shoemaking and fetched up in journalism on their way to the poorhouse. Mark Twain

“Why?”
Paying off the people who are propping you up, with other peoples’ money? Why WOULDN’T you?

The journos would then write only what their Dem masters want them to write.
Of course, how would that be different than today without the tax break?

It’s against the law to offer federal favors to media people.
This is mafia stuff.
Nobody pays but the hard working, horse whipped little guys who have to pay taxes.

" . . . a special $50,000-per-year journalist tax break . . . "
This CAN'T be true, even in today's weird world. Or is it true?
To: blueplum
Wow. Throwing cash at the Ministry of Propaganda in broad daylight. They don’t even bother to hide the corruption anymore.

By putting the press on the federal teat, Congress would be “abridging the freedom...of the press.”
To: blueplum
LOL
How much more obvious could it be?

If journalists can be singled out for a special tax credit, can’t they also be singled out for a special tax?
I can see democrat judges ruling the credit is ok, but the tax would be “unconstitutional”. Democrats have no conscience, but we all knew that

Since all these places lose money, it wouldn’t be useful unless it were a refundable credit

Ask yourself what else is in this $3.5 Trillion multi thousand page bill that no one has read yet. This is why I oppose any bills that encompass numerous different “subjects”. All of these issues need to have their own bill and separate votes
