TV news reports in America that showed President George Bush getting a standing ovation from potential voters have been exposed as fake, it has emerged.

The US government admitted it paid actors to pose as journalists in video news releases sent to TV stations intending to convey support for new laws about health benefits.

Investigators are examining the film segments, in which actors pretending to be journalists praise the benefits of the new law passed last year by President Bush, to see if they could be construed as propaganda.

Two of the films are signed off by "Karen Ryan", who was an actor hired to read a script prepared by the government, according to production company Home Front Communications.

10. This issue was dealt with on one of the major 'news' outlets last night; I

think it was Paula Zahn but she had a guest host; she was not there.
I was amazed to see it getting attention on major network, but not surprised in the least that Bush et all lied, cheated, threatened, stole, whatever...
FILTH. EVIL. LIARS. SCUM. These people are shameless imperialists who are trying to recreate the worst of the Roman empire: the wealthy few in control of all, and everyone else will be 'citizen slaves.' But even the rights of the Roman slaves are being denied to us, citizens of the 'Land of the Free Speech Zone...'

6. This is not the first time

about a year ago, Bush was giving a speech before a manufacting group, with boxes which were labelled with "Made in USA". The camera went behind and saw that the "Made in USA" label was actually covering up "Made in China". What the administration had done, was cover up the "Made in China" label with "Made in USA". It was an entire fraud.

7. see, but the LABELS were made in the USA

so technically it wasn't fraud </freeperthink>

9. The Hallmarks of a LOSER is now in full VIEW

People across the Nation are smelling the coffee and its the cheap kind.

They want better.

Bush is not getting them that better coffee. He is too worried about his "SPICE".

The People are now restless and angry. Soon a voting revolt like never seen before. Kerry 90% Bush 4%

Even his sheep are waking up to the gross lies/deception/photo Ops/
propaganda/psyops/mind control shit his crew are foisting on America.


Because they got away with it for all these years, they think they rule.

Come, we go think.

8. Thanks to insomnia

I was watching CBS news at around 3:00 this morning. That is where I'm most likely to find what passes for real news. The reporter coupled this story with the story about the email warning someone (I was trying to sleep) not to tell congress about the medicaid cost overruns. "The penalties for insubordination will be severe".

The reporter was going on and on about "this propaganda" and how troubling it all is. I was very surprised, but I was also certain that I'd only heard about it because it was the dead of night.
