(9,565 posts)media. Ever since we deregulated tv and news these propoganda machines have been growing into the tsunami of misinformation they are today. \
Did you read the story about Clarence Thomas' wife being part of a neo conservative group called Groundswell? They "synch messages" and get media outlets to do messaed stories. Here's a link. Some of their internal documents were leaked to Mother Jones and David Corn did a story. There's also a story on Media Matters. They have some "friendly" journalist who synch stories and pretty much just distribute the story written by these guys.

(611 posts)If we assume they wanted to be negative about it anyway, perhaps this is all they have, in that direction. Otherwise they'd have to inform people about what the ACA actually does, or the ways in which it is working, or analyze the ways the program is being actively subverted.
