15. Actors playing the part of reporters to promote

a bad medicare bill paid for out of tax dollars.
It borders on having our tax dollars pay for Bush campaign ads.

[Jane Austin]

17. Because

You don't watch CNN? They ran it all day, I think.

21. staged "productions"

recently it came to light that the medicare "NEWS" story featurer "reporters" who were actually actors posing as reporters and reading from a bush* admin "script"

Prior to that - the controversial 9-11 campaign ad featured firemen who were also actors

----

other instances of HOCUS-POTUS come to mind:

-- 2000 Florida re-count: a now fairly known photo shows a group of "voters" storming the re-count room. these voters were GOP stooges of various ranks within the GOP machine

-- 2001 taxcut: at a rally to shove the taxcut through Congress, bush* appeared on stage with a group of "reg'ler 'muricans" . Turns out these "reg'ler 'muricans" were part of the bush* team and were instructed to play dress-up like a "reg'ler 'muricans"

-- 2002 Made in where?: at yet another "rally" to push a taxcut through - bush* appeared with a staged backdrop of boxes that were stamped "made in USA". A behind the scenes look, showed that these boxes were actually marked as "MADE IN CHINA"

-- 2003 "Mission Accomplished" banner: First story cited that the crew of the Lincoln made the banner and put it up. Later we find that bush* inc. provided the banner

-- 2003 Lincoln Jet Landing: Originally we were told that the Lincoln was "too far out to sea" to accomodate another ship transporting bush* to the Lincoln - hence he was "flown" in on a jet.
However, we then find out that the coast line was easily in site when bush* "landed". Meanwhile it was never adequately explained that if the Lincoln was sooooo far out to sea - then how did the bush* advance crew get on the ship?

-- Thanksgiving 2003: the faked turkey platter

22. Kinda like the pigfarm

Just like the photo-op "ranch" the production boys threw together for that down home thang.

The reporters all just giggle.

23. This is an old thing, actually.

Countless political and advertising spots have appeared in local news broadcasts for years as "real" news. More slime by the same snails.
