Feds Want To Control Local News Now
By: Republican Informer, January 2023:
Story continues below advertisementAccording to their most recent proposal, the federal government wants to get more involved in local news outlets.
As if they aren’t overly involved already.
According to reports, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) proposed issuing a public policy to assist local journalism and combat misinformation in a recent report. According to the GAO, the lack of economic viability of local news was the problem that caused over 2,000 local newspapers to close since the early 2000s.
They’re losing money and subscribers because many think they don’t report the truth.
According to reports, the GAO proposed tax breaks or credits, direct government funding, government advertising, federal grants or loans, and government intervention with dominant internet platforms to support local nonprofit news. Their report also suggested that the government enact policies to protect certain types of public interest journalism from market failure.
According to the GAO, no universal definition of “public interest journalism” exists. They do, however, define public interest journalism as covering issues of public significance to engage citizens and inform democratic decision-making, which includes investigations into civically important topics.
According to the GAO, public interest journalism serves a public good for society and generates positive externalities. Consumer desire for the government’s standard of public interest journalism may be nonexistent because consumers are unaware of the extent of its benefits.
The agency also warned that decentralizing news production and distribution online, mainly through social media, threatens public interest journalism…..

Even our local news, where I live, IS BIASED towards Democrats.We STREAM EVERYTHING WE CHOOSE, SO WE CAN DECIDE WHAT TO WATCH AND NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR WHAT WE DON’T.
STREAM: OANN ($5.33 mo), PARAMOUNT+, PUREFLIX, HULU.
Yes, you have to pay for them, but they ARE HALF THE PRICE OF CABLE/SATELLITE.

YOUR CHOICE. NOT SOMEONE ELSE’S.
1 year agoReply to TomSJrYes, exactly what TomSJr said. Our concern is that it’s the Federal government “we’re” dealing with, you know, the one with the myriad faceless (and even nameless) “agencies” that operate via “administrative law / policy,” NOT under “law” enacted by the legislature. We’ve been watching OAN, exclusively, for over two years now (Newsmax screwed-the-pooch when they declared “no fraud” after the election.) So what we expect to happen is OAN advertising will be “forcibly” eliminated by some “agency,” or they will be “censored” on the internet by another “agency.” If “we” don’t get up on our hind legs and fix this government, we WILL be no more than drones/slaves under the yoke of the likes of Schwab/Soros/Bilderbergs/Gates/all the rest of the elites.

1 year agoThe progressive commie demos have had control of the media for many years now, and also have
a foothold on the FIX news network. Unfortunately Hannity and Levin also have seemed to be compromised as well to keep their place on FIX.1 year agoWhat do you mean; “WANTS TO CONTROL NEWS”? The “government” ALREADY controls the news. Have you ever heard of: “OPERATION MOCKINGBIRD”? Flip through the news channels and you will hear a “phrase” that is repeated by M A N Y channels.
1 year agoLocal media has built in propaganda. They scrape stories from the bigs and then report it.
1 year agoOf course the “government” says the “government” it “good for society” ……. you don’t really think “they” are going to tell the truth, do you?
1 year agoI haven’t had TV in nigh 30 years. Pre computer I listened to short wave radio. I chose my news providers, even a few leftist sites to keep up with their latest idiocy.

1 year agoIs Anybody really surprised by this Omission ?
1 year agoI used to get 2 daily newspapers , now only one. Why? The “local” news is nothing but car thefts, gun battles & murders, roving gangs destroying & stealing and the occasional corrupt politician. We learn nothing of local or state government & what they are doing to tax and pass crazy laws that affect all of us. As for National “News” it’s all from the same “sources”from Big Brother ” and the deep state “media”. IF you flip thru “news” channels, they all lead off with the EXACT same words verbatim. So WHO is controlling all of this? Could it be? Davos and elite globalists?
