We have William Ayers, rapist and terrorist, as the man who kicked off the president&#8217;s career. We have Cass Sunstein who thinks animals should be able to sue you and that your speech, if it goes against the government, should be taxed. We have Ezekiel Emanuel, doctor from hell, recommending what should be spent on health procedures and whom should ultimately receive those treatments. We have Rahm Emanuel who understands the opportunism of the Hegelian Dialectic \u2014 never let a good [created] crisis go to waste. We have seen Christmas ornaments bearing the likeness of mass murderer Chairman Mao hanging on the White House Christmas tree and communications advisers who admire Mao for his political strategies. We have a president who openly admits that he feels its his job to spread the wealth around from you to me&#8230; I could go on but you get the picture.<\/p>\n<p>And now this&#8230;  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnly government can implement policies and subsidies to provide an institutional framework for quality journalism.\u201d Does that statement give you chills?<\/p>\n<p>How about this one: \u201cThe news is not a commercial product. It is a public good, necessary for a self-governing society. Once we accept this, we can talk about the kind of media policies and subsidies we want.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Or this one? \u201cIn the end, there is no real answer but to remove brick-by-brick the capitalist system itself, rebuilding the entire society on socialist principles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>These are the sentiments of Robert McChesney, a self-professed neomarxist media scholar and the founder of the lobbying group and think tank Free Press. McChesney\u2019s statements should worry you, perhaps even fill you with dread. Not because the rantings of a lefty professor are particularly scary in and of themselves, but because McChesney\u2019s views are having a direct effect on the Obama administration\u2019s policies on the media.
