Quietly, last month. I missed this one. Have there been others since? Likely to be more journalistic outlets indebted to the Democrats who keep them afloat. (But,...it isn't as if that is not exactly what may just as well have been going on all along. I mean the extreme ass 7 boot-licking already exists. Why not pay the press for their favorable propaganda?

The major argument against a government bailout for the troubled newspaper industry has been the potential compromising of the so-called free press, which would be indebted to the very politicians it has pledged to keep in line. Now we may get a chance to see exactly how that plays out. The financially troubled Bay State Banner says it will accept the $200,000 loan offered by Mayor Thomas M. Menino in order to keep the city’s only black-owned paper afloat. Mel Miller, the 44-year-old paper’s publisher, told the Boston Globe that “only a fool” would turn down the loan. Critics disagree, saying that the paper will now be beholden to the city and the mayor, whom Miller has criticized in editorials, and that its coverage of local elections and issues could be compromised. The paper suspended publication on July 9, citing economic woes. It’s expected to resume publishing next month.  </DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/EFB5373E-A257-4F77-8F5D-F68D30764A0B/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
