		<description>Given that the GAO found illegalities in Bush hiring people to advertise &#039;pro-Bush&#039; infomericals without designating them as such, and we have the likes of Novak (Robert and Vivica), Millers, and Woodward amongst several others in our MSM, how do we honestly know that we&#039;re not being subjected to similar propaganda?

&lt;i&gt;Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.&lt;/i&gt; (John 8:44, KJV)

It&#039;s always been pretty evident who/what this administration worships, don&#039;t ya&#039; think?</description>

		<description>Why should the Iraqi&#039;s be special?  We have a media that feeds us this administration&#039;s propaganda.  Our broadcast media has no interest in exposing the corruption of the Republican Party.  In a real democracy, the truth is needed for people to make informed decisions.  The media has abdicated their role in our providing the truth.  Better to focus on missing white women or &quot;The War on Merry Christmas&quot;, then indepth exposure of gamed electronic voting machines.  

So our bogus media can report bogus stories planted by our bogus administration fighting a bogus war.</description>

For your sake, Jane, I hope the similarities between Wayne and Bill end at their &quot;tremendous&quot; ability for parsing words and &quot;cogent&quot; debate.

I hear he hangs out at the local Starbucks - that is when he&#039;s actually home and not abroad critiquing his replacements&#039; policies.  But I suppose it is a bit much to ask a &quot;gentleman&quot; of such high intelligence - and arrested emotional development - to show even a modicom of decorum.  You may want to wash your hands after you shake his.  You never know where those hands have been. (I can just picture you fawning all over him!)  What a highlight!</description>

		<description>RE: #98 by MA  &quot;...the NYT let EVERYONE know the location of CIA landings&quot;

Do you mean the same NYT that allowed Vice-Presidential Spokesperson Judy Miller to sell the country on our elective war with unverified, crap evidence from the likes of &quot;Curveball&quot; and the fugitive con-man Chalabi?

Maybe the NYT is now trying to atone for the pathetic disgrace of Ms. Run-Amok by doing some real investigative reporting on the beginning stages of the American Gulag.  If the &quot;terrorists&quot; are so guilty, then what&#039;s the problem with resolving the cases in court?</description>

Not true.  I do actually DO something - I vote!  And I vote against Republicans.

Oh, and thanks for comparing me to Bill Clinton.  I appreciate the compliment.  I&#039;ll have to remember it if I ever run into him when I&#039;m near his home in Chappaqua.</description>

<p>As to your comment about the similarity between Wayne&#8217;s writing and Bill Clinton&#8217;s, I&#8217;ll remind Wayne to thank you for the unintended compliment.  You&#8217;re just not used to people who can speak and communicate with grammatical correctness and an extensive vocabulary<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=269402', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>Just heard a caller on the Ed Schultz Show report that there might be evidence that someone has been writing false letters from soldiers to newspapers around the country praising the war&#039;s purpose. Only problem is that the soldiers didn&#039;t actually write the letters- someone else used their names and planted the letters. 

If this turns out to be true, it could be a pretty big deal...though not at all surprising. The voting military would be livid, if a majority of them aren&#039;t already.</description>

		<description>For those who defend this propagandizing of the news, there is a distinction that should be considered.  To drop leaflets via airplane on a population is a form of propaganda that is recognized for what it is, and everyone accepts that.
To co-opt the &quot;legitimate&quot; news media with propaganda written and then sold for print as a supposed news story, whether fact or fiction or a combination of the two, is an abomination of democracy, of the free press, and a complete disservice to our men and women fighting there.</description>
