Omnibus Bill: Taxpayers to Erect Monument to Journalists in D.C., Give over $1B Subsidy to Media
Breitbart ^ | 12/21/2022 | WENDELL HUSEBØ

Taxpayers will fund the erection of press statues in Washington, D.C., along with handing out media subsidies worth over $1 billion, if the Omnibus bill is passed into law in the coming days.

According to section 708 of the bill, the establishment media will be given a “commemorative” location in Washington, D.C., to honor “journalists”:

The location of a commemorative work to commemorate the commitment of the United States to a free press by honoring journalists who sacrificed their lives in service to that cause within Area I, as depicted on the map entitled ‘‘Commemorative Areas Washington, DC and Environs’’, numbered 869/86501 B, and dated June 24, 2003, is approved.

Meanwhile the FBI tells the media, both new and old, what they are allowed to publish.

Another monument the illegal invaders and aunt teefah boys need to tear down. The “media” is a mob of fascist, partisan scum bags. Show me the last time they said anything good about patriotic Americans. Griner is more their type.

We are going to erect the statues for so-called journalists, as we continue to tear down statues of the Founding Fathers and other great historic figures.

Okay that’s where we’re at.

Very few. Many newsrooms are press release driven. Someone sends out a poorly written, as assignment editor “assigns” the “story” and we “report” it exactly as written. Journalistic curiosity is tougher and tougher to find. A reporter is expected to turn in three and four stories a day. It’s bad and getting worse every day.

They should honor the whore journalists—the Mockingbird Media has been propagandizing for the Deep State for decades.

My only objection is that the statues should be knee pads.
