Roanoke Times Convulses at Power Sharing

Roanoke Times, 1-25-10, Pg 1 & 14: Court makes bad decision on corporate cash; corporate influence without bound; The Supreme Court enables government of the corporations, by the corporations, for the corporations.
-
Me thinks “The Ladies of the Roanoke Times Editorial Board” Doth Protest too Much!
-
Ah yes, that nasty Republican Roberts Supreme Court looked at the fact that the major media are super-corporations that exercise political influence without bounds or reason or fairness and concluded that if they have that much political power, why not other corporations too? Something about a goose and a gander.
-
Why not indeed? In the last election the major left-wing liberal media provided hundreds of millions of dollars in super-positive coverage and support to Obama while denigrating and marginalizing McCain and Palin at every opportunity.
-
Hopefully some corporations will run advertisements informing the public that there are other candidates, ideas and views than those espoused by the major left-wing media corporations. Apparently this is something the Editors of the Roanoke Times find very scary. Why aren’t they OK with open debate on a level playing field?
-
Some examples of the Roanoke Times free political support for their friends:
