So Indiana Gov. Mike Pence initiates a project to use state tax dollars to run a state managed news outlet. Yay! Just what we need an American version of Pravda. I’ve got to wonder what the de-facto GOP news outlet, Fox News, thinks about this competition. Especially in light of the fact that Republicans swear that government can’t do anything right and every function should be privatized.

P.S., You’ve got to love the irony of someone who ostensibly believe in “small government” spending tax dollars to make them look good. I’m hard pressed to see how that is an essential government service.
