DER MESSIAH DECREES: "WHY I'D BE HAPPY TO INCREASE MY CONTROL OVER THE MEDIA! HOW NICE OF YOU TO ASK!"

Via Hot Air:

The president said he is “happy to look at” bills before Congress that would give struggling news organizations tax breaks if they were to restructure as nonprofit businesses.

“I haven’t seen detailed proposals yet, but I’ll be happy to look at them,” Obama told the editors of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and Toledo Blade in an interview.

Then we will no longer be a divided country and those divisions will be healed. Just as I promised!"
