The RW Media Propaganda Campaign Continues - CBS Chooses GOP Operative As SR VP

[Median Democrat]

The great fraud continues. Despite the corporate media repeatedly claiming that the media is liberal, the facts demonstrate that it is actually dominated by the right wing. In the latest example of right wing control of the news media, CBS chooses a GOP activist as its SR VP:

Today, I learned that CBS News named Jeff Ballabon, a New York Republican activist, to serve as the Senior Vice President of Communications.

In fact, it is not atypical of Ballabon to use this kind of extreme partisan rhetoric. During the 2008 election, Ballabon said, "Obama is incredibly dangerous."

During the 2004 elections, JTA reported, "AIPAC has touted this election as a 'win-win' proposition, noting Bush's strong support for Israel and Kerry's 100 percent pro-Israel voting record in the Senate." In response, Ballabon wrote, "Bush and Kerry 'win-win?' Republicans and Democrats indistinguishable? It would be funny if Jews weren't being killed."

1. this is their strategy as opposition party.

in the 90's they dominated the media with stealth operatives. Now at least we know about them.

This is all a direct descent from raygun's domestic disinformation campaigns, when the CIA ramped up its infiltration of the American media. On many shows and networks, EVERY talking head we see is in the employ of the repuke branch of the "national security" apparatus.
