Bush Shows No Remorse for Fake Newscasts
by William Fisher
http://www.commondreams.org/headlines05/0329-12.htm""Since 2001, the Army and Air Force Hometown News Service has fielded 40 reporters, producers and public affairs specialists to create ”good military news” to be beamed to home audiences via local news stations. The service's ”good news” segments have reportedly reached 41 million Americans via local newscasts -- in most cases, without the station acknowledging their source.
More than 20 different federal agencies used taxpayer funds to produce television news segments promoting Bush administration policies. These ”video news releases,” or VNRs, were broadcast on hundreds of local news programs. without disclosing their source.
And the military's TV outlet the Pentagon Channel, which formerly targeted the armed forces, is now available to U.S. citizens via every satellite and cable operator.""
So, with Operation Mockingbird in full song and the already paid off Armstong Williams, Maggie Gallagher, Michael McManus, Jeff Gannon/Guckert,....who's next ?
