Weapons of mass deception
Catapulting the propaganda -
Former Bush spokesman/2000 Florida recount operative and John Murtha swiftboater Taylor Gross is urging newspapers to run "pro-war" stories by rethug front group Vets for Freedom. Though
"it might be more accurate to call it a Republican-financed, pro-war group geared toward helping the Republicans keep control of Congress and the Senate this November," says John Stauber of the Center for Media and Democracy.Gee - go figure.
"What I think is extremely disturbing is that no other national news media has picked this up. There's been no legs to the Buffalo News story, no wire services have picked it up. And yet, the Washington Post, the L.A. Times, the New York Times, have all run op-eds from these guys, without any reporting on who they actually are."
