MEDIA UPSET ABOUT FACT THAT MANY IN MEDIA ARE LAZY! Laura Ingraham The New York Times has published a breathless front pager on the video news releases produced and distributed by the Bush Administration. The releases are made available to media outlets across the nation and clearly labeled as originating from the various agencies or departments. Government media spokespeople introduce and close out the packaged pieces by saying something akin to: "This is Jane Doe, for the Agriculture Department," or "For the EPA, this is Joe Smith." Some news organizations use the video releases and edit in their own intros or wraps. The NYT, NBC News and other big-players in the MSM are actually raising the prospect that what the Bush Administration is doing is illegal propaganda. They hang this implication on opinions by the General Accounting Office holding that government-made news pieces "may constitute 'covert propaganda'" without passing judgment on the Bush Administration's efforts. (By the way, this has been going on since the early years of the Clinton Administration!)" lauraingraham.com
