The Nashua Advocate: How Neo-Cons Use the IRS to Distribute Propaganda
Read the article here.

Folks, this is the "bigger picture" of this Administration's secrecy, persistent use of propaganda, and avoidance of comment on the Gannongate scandal.

This is what is happening to America.

Tax shelters for neo-conservative New Media outlets whose only job is to spread propaganda.

An excerpt:

They Get What You Pay For: Neo-Conservative New Media Outlets Finance Widespread Scheme to Disseminate G.O.P. Propaganda--With Your Money

By ADVOCATE STAFF

The Internal Revenue Service would be hard-pressed to explain putting the words "Cliff Kincaid" and "tax-exempt" in the same sentence.

Yet that's largely what the nation's tax-collection service has done, granting (click on link and scroll down) much-coveted 501(c)(3) "charitable organization" status to Kincaid's "Accuracy in Media" (AIM) organization.

Yet, by any measure, Cliff Kincaid isn't the sort of guy you'd expect to be tax-exempt.

You wouldn't think, that is, that you could give money to Cliff Kincaid's AIM and deduct it from your annual taxes, impoverishing the nation's tax base in order to fatten the coffers of a radical conservative internet "news" outlet.

Wait a minute: did we say "radical conservative"?

Let's see if we can back that up.

1. Really? No interest?
I'd rather thought this one put Gannongate in perspective, and said a lot about how neo-conservatives are using tax loopholes to dominate New Media as we speak.
