NYTimes story

There's nothing on but government propaganda. Basically, the Bush administration has created an unprecedented amount of "news broadcasts" which are being presented by many television stations in ways which make them anywhere from hard to impossible to tell apart from their own segments (with aid from many of these departments in that task, such as with custom signoff statements mentioning the station's name).

These "news broadcasts", purely coincidentally I'm sure, consistently present the Bush administration's policies in good light, reflect what the Bush administration is currently pushing politically, and never mention opposing viewpoints.

There needs to be a law against this.

This is immoral. This is corrupt.

Wow!

Apparently, I spawned a new member!

Do I have to go post this over on the "You know you've been on Hatrack too long, when..." thread?

It seems like all of a sudden, all these acts are coming to light, doesn't it. As if seeing one, people feel better about publishing another, and before a few weeks have passed, everyone has their corruption story to tell.

Looks like America is ill and needs healing [Frown] .
