WTF Is It Now?!?

Bush misadministration/media collusion memos surface
Catapulting the propaganda:

"Of course it raises some concerns, but we can't let this issue be blown out of proportion. Hell, if we want to plant I.D. chips in people and torture their loved ones until they break, we will. I know the idea of governmental control over what the media can or cannot say during wartime may be an uncomfortable topic for some to digest, but it is a necessary fact of life when our enemies are trying to kill us."

Uhhhhh, thank you, Senator Frist.

In a disturbing turn of events for an administration already plagued by sagging poll numbers and waning support for the Iraq war, Friday's revelation that the Bush administration issued direct guidelines for programming to media outlets is troubling even die-hard conservatives.

Late Friday a series of memos between senior Bush Administration officials and management at Viacom, Inc. were leaked calling for the media giant to focus on stories and programming choices that "reinforce the Administration's positions" and to "ignore and/or discredit points of view in opposition to the Bush Administration's foreign policy objectives for the purposes of National Security."

"We will get to the bottom of this," the Rev. Al Sharpton said, "and heads will roll. Now that their practices of propaganda are common knowledge even Americans with limited political awareness will demand change."

I wish I could be as positive, Rev Al.
