We will comment on this further as soon as we manage to pick our jaws up off the floor: 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.

<blockquote> Supreme leader Kim Jong Un&#039;s work &quot;Let Us Step Up the Building of a Thriving Country by Applying Kim Jong Il&#039;s Patriotism&quot; was brought out in booklet by a publishing house of Peru on January 16.
The work, made public on July 26, Juche 101(2012), clarifies the essence of Kim Jong Il&#039;s patriotism and his whole life characterized by his warm love for the country and its people.
It also clarifies important issues arising in embodying Kim Jong Il&#039;s patriotism. </blockquote>
Just change Kim Jong Un to Mike Pence and Kim Jong Il to Ronald Reagan.
What a rookie. St. Ronnie didn&#039;t even need to prepackage the news so as to get the papers to regurgitate the party line. He got the White House press to do that for him.
Just out of curiosity, what is the Russian word for &quot;fox&quot;?
Governor Pence is going into the birdcage lining business?
I&#039;m trying to think where I have heard of something like this, but I have to admit that I&#039;m foxed.

Hooray! Kittens!

and sweater puppies!
Fairly unbalanced.
Irony really IS lost on conservatives, isn&#039;t it?
Good description of Pence. I expect the news outlet will be fairly balanced between &#039;gushing&#039; and &#039;sycophantic&#039;.
