Maddow: The story behind Michelle Bachmann’s speech — it was a manufactured ‘event’ by CNN & a Republican for-profit consultant

Stunning. It appears from Rachel Maddow’s reporting that there’s a larger story behind the Michelle Bachmann “Tea Party movement official response” to Obama’s state of the union address. Turns out, “Tea Party” doesn’t mean what you think it means; and neither does “movement.”

According to Maddow, CNN has been working with Sal Russo, of the for-profit Republican consulting firm Russo Marsh & Rogers — Rachel used the words “merging” and “partnering” — in several Tea Party–related joint enterprises.

3. We don't have "news" in the U.S. - we have propaganda.

6. So True That!

Its been at least a decade since we've had anyone in the M$M with an ounce of journalistic ethics. If you want real news - the kind I grew up with back in the 1950s and 1960s your going to have to look outside America to find it. Today's talking heads are bought and sold by the pound.

4. Are there any Americans who still don't get that all of the TV and radio stations work for the

far right? At least in Soviet Russia the peasants knew that TASS was government propaganda.

5. Looking at the latest polls on Congress, it seems their numbers are shrinking fast...

i'd like to see a poll about that, though (m$m & co's = pRopaganda)
