I am a graduate of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, and this article marks an overt admission that the so-called “objective journalism” model that we were taught to aspire to (all of the winks and secret handshakes notwithstanding) finally is dead.
These authors are asking the US government, which already is running deficits at a previously unimaginable rate, to take more money from we, the people, to give it to a propaganda arm, and to allow tax-exempt contributions to these propagandists — at the same time that McCain-Feingold has made it illegal to contribute to political campaigns under certain circumstances. In other words, George Soros would be able to make massive tax-exempt contributions to The New York Times or another Democrat-Socialist propagandizer and the government would receive fewer tax dollars as a result.
At long last, Mr. journalist, have you no shame?
It really does rise to that level, doesn't it? They've crossed the line. The game is over. We all see the wires. It's time for them to get off the stage, because we understand what it is they're doing.
Well, the efficiency that would result is that Soros could fund the Washington Post and the New York Times directly, cutting out the MoveOn.org and “Center for American Progress” and “Come Together” and “Open Society” (pro-death and pro-drugs) funding, and eliminating the middle men.
