News Flash: MSNBC tells the truth!

Whoa. On 'Connected' today, there was a piece on the phony news releases that the White House has created and disseminated using taxpayer money. Naturally, there's a Bush apologist (Terry Jeffrey) who claims that Bush has to use propaganda and fake 'town hall' meetings because of their favorite boogeyman. Oh, wait, that's Bill Clinton. Their second favorite boogeyman-- the "liberal media." He also uses a tried and true tactic: when the facts are against you, laugh derisively at your opponent.

Well worth a watch, if you have the bandwidth. It's a 5 meg download. Video


When it finallly dawns on the public that these GOP shills are nothing more than ministers of propaganda, this pack of hucksters should be spending some quality time in the unemployment lines. Somebody should send Terry Jeffrey a transcript of the Nuremberg trials...

As for MSNBC (and CNN, and every other media outlet), they damn well better start decrying the admin's use of propaganda-- in dodging this issue, all they're accomplishing is hastening their own demise as respected journalists and assuring that all of America buys the myth of the "liberal media."
