Media: The Next Obama Takeover?

By Bob Parks
Monday, September 21, 2009

It’s clear Barack Obama doesn’t like the way the media does it’s job. Too many questions, not enough compliance, yada yada, and when Barack Obama sets his sights on something he deems “brokenâ€

have people gone crazy. congress needs to stop its sycophant behavior!

Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) has introduced S. 673, the so-called “Newspaper Revitalization Act,â€

Oh, horsecrap! This writer has not read the Constitution lately...you know the part where Congress shall make no law...
The newspapers have to get a new business model, and the majority of them are owned by major corporations that are doing very well, so this is just shooting from the hip about another horror to lay at Obama's door. A good part of their income has been from businesses that have been hit hard in the downturn. A real estate company used to have a multi-page insert every week with color photos of their homes listed, which has disappeared. Both used and new car dealers used to hog the ads, and many of them have closed their doors or put their money elsewhere.

I am curious about what the States Rights states have to say about this newest violation of our freedom of speech.

How did they get radio-free Europe?

Just when was the last time there was any great concern for our Constitution coming from DC, V?

Well then, let those corporations figure out their own problems. They've got the money to muddle through the economic crisis.

There's no justification whatsoever for, in such a time of crisis and ever mounting debt bankrupting the American people, for wealthy corporations to be given any form of bailout, especially in the form of tax deductions.

And where is the justification in permitting for-profit newspapers to change their status to non-profit for the purposes of evading tax obligations? If any other business tried it, it would be called fraud.


, so this is just shooting from the hip about another horror to lay at Obama's door.

obama is solely responsible, as a result of his own words, actions, and conduct, for the horrors being laid at his door V. No one else. Just him.

The irony of it is that we don't ever see HIM denying his fascist aspirations, do we? To the contrary, it's everyone BUT obama denying it even as he continues down that path right before their very eyes.

A good part of their income has been from businesses that have been hit hard in the downturn. A real estate company used to have a multi-page insert every week with color photos of their homes listed, which has disappeared.

That may be true but remember.......it was obama and his ilk who worked endlessly and relentlessly in strong arming financial institutions to grant home loans to people who could not afford them and never should have been granted mortgages to begin with.

It was many of the same people obama now has appointed to key positions within his administration who developed and engaged in all of the fraudulent and deceptive financial instruments also responsible for the housing market crash and continued freefall of our economy.



Both used and new car dealers used to hog the ads, and many of them have closed their doors or put their money elsewhere.

Again, put the blame for this where it belongs.......at obama's door.

His administration took control of the auto industry and immediately began putting dealerships out of business...... successful dealerships which, ironically, were owned/operated by those targeted as not friendly to the democratic party and/or the union.

The remaining dealerships are being redeveloped to become regional, state-controlled monopolies.



Further horrors to be laid at obama's door are his overt power grabs within the banking, healthcare, and energy industries.....all planned to become state-controlled entities, his push for control over the food and water supplies, radio and the internet.

To even think that he is not interested in gaining governmental control over print media, undoubtedly to be followed by television, is to grossly underestimate the biggest threat to this country in our history.
