So 20 federal agencies have produced fake news shows to sell the Bush agenda, and distributed them to tv stations for broadcast?

I don’t think I like this form of propaganda.

I wonder what the other side of the story is?

Stop Fake News!
March 16, 2005

This week, The New York Times reported that 20 federal agencies have made and distributed pre-packaged television news segments to promote President Bush’s policies and initiatives. These were sent to local stations without disclosure that the segments weren’t actual news coverage. The General Accounting Office told the Bush administration to stop producing and distributing the segments, which it called “covert propaganda.” The White House refused. It’s time to take the matter into our own hands. Join Free Press and sign a petition calling on Congress, the FCC and local stations to make tougher laws about government propoganda—and to come clean to viewers when it’s used. Then, help organize “citizen agreements” with your local broadcasters that they won’t air fake news broadcasts . Because if it’s not The Daily Show, we’re not interested. ACT NOW
