Headlines in The Drudge Report and Fox Nation speak to ABC News' willingness to sell itself out to the Obama administration on the health care issue. (That's a clever piece of PhotoShop-ing from Drudge, above.)
But the movement is deeper than liberals who love Obama: There are forces in motion to have the government start buying up the media--what's left of it. That's the gist of a new piece by Peter Osnos, a former Washington Post reporter, now a senior fellow at the liberal Century Foundation. Osnos praises a long report from Free Press, yet another liberal advocacy group, which calls for government subsidies for the media, through a variety of different spigots. The 284-page Free Press report is here, and I am reading it now.
UPDATE: Jim Hubbell, great Cable Gamer, did a better version of the conflation of ABC and Obama, and so I have used it above.
And interestingly enough, Jim uses Corel. Go Canada!
