Zipp0 1 #3 October 31, 2006 If this propaganda is aimed at the US, it is criminal. I have much less of a problem with influencing opinion overseas, but this makes it sound like it is aimed at US citizens. Using fronts to improperly influence public opinion in the US is treason. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

US citizens need non-molested information in order to make decisions relating to leadership/elections. If media in the USA, or available to US citizens, is represented as free media reporting, our democracy becomes a sham, as voters will be making decisions based on false or misleading information. For the US government to willfully mislead voters is treasonous. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down.

All the major news outlets are politically biased... Fox centrist/leaning right, and the grand majority of the rest firmly biased left. The trick is to not get your news from only one side of the house, whether it be left or right.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

I don't have a problem with stories being put out by the government as long as they are identified as so and that they are truthful. Many of the stories that appear in the MSM today contain info actually provided by stringers and not the reporter and that's not disclosed. - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,116 #13 October 31, 2006 I love it! ---------------------------------- Pentagon boosts 'media war' unit US officials believe bad news from Iraq gets undue coverage The US defence department has set up a new unit to better promote its message across 24-hour rolling news outlets, and particularly on the internet. The Pentagon said the move would boost its ability to counter "inaccurate" news stories and exploit new media. . . . On Monday, Vice-President Dick Cheney said insurgents had increased attacks in Iraq . . . ---------------------------------- So the 'media war' unit is going to counter "inaccurate" bad news from Iraq like . . . Dick Cheney's? Quick! To the bat-computer! Must get the story out that Dick Cheney is a liberal america-hater who wants the terrorists to win! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"That's the thing that keeps me up at night," Mr Rumsfeld said.
