The top article: \u201cBAD BUSINESS: Arizona Companies Reject Anti-Gay Bill.\u201d It has an especially propagandistic feel because the entire site is framed in red, an ad for The Americans. The story itself<\/a> doesn\u2019t really have any details on the bill, which I understand to be a fairly narrowly crafted one, but just reports that company after company has lined up to threaten the state. <\/p>\n

What else is on offer on the site? How about \u201c I\u2019m quitting my job. Thanks, Obamacare!<\/a>\u201d which reports on hardworking virtuous Americans retiring early thanks to ObamaCare, including a 51-year-old teacher who will now start her own business (and intends to hire 2 \u2013 3 employees), a 57-year-old grocery clerk whose departure allowed a younger clerk to advance, and who will, he reports, spend the $450 he gains in ObamaCare subsidies by doing his share to help the local economy, and a 59-year-old engineer who will leave his corporate job to fix and build guitars and spend time with his grandchildren. In other words, they\u2019re repeating the Democrats\u2019 line that the shrinking of the labor force is a good thing. <\/p>\n

So \u2014 I generally get my news from an actual newspaper, but where do you go for \u201cstraight news\u201d on the internet?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
