Indiana Governor starting a State-Run News Outlet

Gov. Mike Pence is starting a state-run taxpayer-funded news outlet that will make pre-written news stories available to Indiana media, as well as sometimes break news about his administration, according to documents obtained by The Indianapolis Star.

Pence is planning in late February to launch "Just IN," a website and news outlet that will feature stories and news releases written by state press secretaries and is being overseen by a former Indianapolis Star reporter, Bill McCleery.

Why do I still live here??
This guy is an IDIOT!

Gov. Mike Pence's state-run news outlet will compete with media

State-run media??? Like in Iran and China and Venezuela??? Oh yeah, we have state run media in the USA also. It's called ABC, CBS, P-MSNBC, NY Times.
I'd rant too. But at least Indiana Gov. comes right out and admits they are state run media. The others (Mainstream Media) claim they are objective.

Like CBC in Canada. Left leaning for sure.

Sledge- You should somehow get them to talk about scrapping like making them want to do something about CRTs so Pence and his minions can crow about what they've done. Make sure you make them think its their idea. Work the system. Recycling is all warm and fuzzy for everyone including politicans, no???

I just want state and federal governments to stop taking my money and paying for the propaganda from NPR(National Peoples Radio and tv). Mike

news is already totally controlled by the elite so what else is new. Opinion.

Well, at least they will tell us what they want us to hear. Maybe they will pass the internet fairness thingy so we won't have all that background independent thought stuff to have to worry about misinforming us.

And horrible content/programming. Hockey Night In Canada is the only thing I watch there!

Good thing I live far enough out in the sticks that I can't get CBC. Except over the internet, and I choose not to.

The proverbial BACKPEDDLE was in full effect last night.. his communication director "clarified" it saying "Well we pass information inter-departmental back and forth.. this was not what we intended well.. err.. uhh"

Swarens: Pence kills Just IN news site

FAIL!
