The Daily Beast reports that the Republican Governor of Indiana is launching his own, state funded news site! official memo: “Just IN will function as a news outlet in its own right for thousands of Hoosiers—transparent in functioning as a voice of the State of Indiana’s executive branch.”
Q: When does the conservative governor of a majority-Republican state start to resemble an old-line Communist apparatchik? A: When he uses taxpayer money to fund government-approved “journalism” to compete with privately-owned, independent news outlets. Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, a former hate radio talk jock and as yet un announced member of the Republican Presidential wannabe horde, is planning to launch “Just IN,” an online new site to be written, produced and edited out of the governor’s office. ,” Indiana Senate Minority Leader Timothy Lanane, one of 10 Democrats among 40 Republicans in the state Senate remarked “I don’t think we do that here in this country.” Indiana House Speaker Brian Bosma, a Republican, added : “I’m withholding final judgment ….. In the meantime, just in case, I have had my staff contact Rosetta Stone and I do have a new Russian version that will be coming out shortly.” Mr. Bosma isa probably worried that the Governor has read about TRUTH (“PRAVDA”) published by his predecessors who ran the Soviet Union?
I’m sure the irony of Pravda comparisons will be totally lost on this nincompoop.
The weirdest part of the Repugnants is that they decry Stalin while celebrating the behavior he understood all too well.
