Back At You MSM

From the Lakeland-Times. Seems the state (WIAA) is telling the MSM what they can or cannot do!

The Wisconsin Newspaper Association and one of its most powerful members, Gannett Co. Inc., are being sued by the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association for making available what they say was an illegal webcast of a WIAA playoff football game in Stevens Point last fall.

In addition to Gannett, the parent company of The Post-Crescent, the athletic association has also filed suit against the newspaper association for infringing on its exclusive media ownership rights.

The WIAA is asking a Portage County judge to rule that the organization has the right to "control the transmission, Internet stream, photo, image, film, videotape, audiotape, writing, drawing or other depiction or description" of high school games.

You know, the MSM is getting what they deserve! Now they know what average citizens go through from the State of Wisconsin. When our rights are being trampled, the MSM mostly sides with the state and the left!

I will agree with the newspapers, tell the WIAA to stick it, but will most (not the Lakeland Times) of the MSM wake up and see how government is taking over our lives and everyday seem to not report it. There slant is to the left and with liberals in government. Where is the media in this state when it comes to honest reporting of the news?

So we conservatives back the newspapers today and next Monday they will call us red neck, hayseed hicks who deserve higher taxes! Like I said, some in the media deserve to see some pay back!

Back at you MSM, how's it feel?
