What is the font of the Washington Post?

Why is The Washington Post and CBS receiving money from the ObamaCare slush fund?

  • In a blow to the autonomy of the media it has been discovered that employees of two Old Media outlets are the happy beneficiaries of hundreds of thousands of federal dollars from an Obamacare slush fund. CBS and the Washington Post have both taken large payments from Obama's Early Retiree Reinsurance Program (ERRP), with the Post getting $573,217 while CBS has received a whopping $722,388. Matthew Boyle reported that the news of the media giants taking federal cash was revealed at a hearing before the House Energy and Commerce Committee last week. http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/publius-forum/2011/04/obamas-bribes-to-the-wash-post-and-cbs.html http://dailycaller.com/2011/04/06/washington-post-and-cbs-receiving-money-from-obamacare-slush-fund/ The question here becomes one of disclosure. Will CBS and the Washington Post put disclaimers on any story they relate about Obamacare? Will they be able to maintain "fair" coverage of Obama or is this simply bribe money sent in their direction? HA!

Typical liberal hypocrisy at its finest. Dirty money is fine with them, as long as they are on the receiving end. It is truly pathetic that these same liberals would be up in arms if the roles were reversed. Truly pathetic.

Let's see if any other media outlet picks up the story.

I don't see conflict of interest. Many are rolling into the program early.

why are the unions exempt from obama care? if it was so great why are these companies getting waivers. do you think donations maybe. i am sure there is more to come as they go through that nightmare called health care, it should be called one big slush fund. why is obama so obsessed with taxing those "rich" people who make over $250,00 (LOL) a year yet GE makes $14 billion and paid no taxes. maybe more donations. more ironic is the fact that obama has picked GE's CEO to head a job focused committee to jump start the economy. there has never been fair coverage of obama. do you really think that cbs will be reporting the obama health funds in their news. we are buried in debt thanks to this failed administration. they just do not get it that we are bankrupt and want to continue this insane spending and closed door meetings to make deals.
