Obamaphiles Plot Media Takeover

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that, should government extend

bailout funds to the nation's newspapers, the end result will be the state
dictating media content.

For did not Obama determine the minutest aspects of GM and bank
operations when these institutions fell for government wiles such as where
conferences would be held and what models of automobiles would continue
to roll off the assembly line?

This has to happen by definition.

The Newspaper Revitalization Act being considered by Congress would

permit papers to reorganize as non-profit 501(C)(3) organizations.

This is the same part of the tax code that churches have fallen for granting
them formalized tax-exempt status.

In exchange for this favor from Leviathan, churches are forbidden from
participating in political activity such as the endorsing of candidates for
office.

However, the power to tax is the power to destroy and even the most devout
of pastors on fire for the Lord have grown circumspect in how they address
issues of public concern from the pulpit as they dig for phraseology that
honors God's revelation without plunging their congregations into financial
ruination simply because some unrepentant reprobate in the pew gets in a
huff.

This will mean one of two things.

Either America's newspapers will become increasingly bland as they strive to
avoid stepping on the taxman's toes or that there is an even more sinister thing
going on in the form of a religious persecution that will overlook newspapers
saying whatever they want but maintaining theological and ideological
shackles around the churches of America.
