text: "Public service journalism" is a huge misnomer -- a euphemism.  This is simply a new way to get the general public to help pay for leftwing propaganda.  People like Pierre Omidyar and Civil Beat are going to inundate us with their opinions hoping to persuade us.  They will do that as a hobby, which they have every right to do.  But now they reincorporate as a tax exempt charity, meaning that they and their "donors" can write off from their taxes every penny they spend to spew their propaganda.  Taxpayers must make up the difference to pay for the welfare state which Omidyar et. al. are pushing us to approve of.
  
  The tycoons of do-gooder big government think they know what's good for us, and they want to make us agree with them, and now they make us pay taxes which they no longer must pay so that we can have the privilege of being bombarded with their propaganda.  Now these tycoons all over America are getting together to cut costs and share their propaganda.  How wonderful is that!
