Here is an interesting play by play on how we're propagandized. It's interesting how willing reporters are to be dupes. It's also interesting that the phone call to Gore's motorcade that informed him the election was closer than they realized came from AP reporter Ron Fournier. Another subtle piece of propaganda in the article is Kurtz' assertion that the election ended in a tie. How many times have we heard that? Could have sworn Bush received more votes that night. washingtonpost.com

I hope this is propaganda. BILL CLINTON TV SHOW PITCHED; POST-PRESIDENCY PLANS TAKE SHAPE Is the world ready for "The Bill Clinton Show"? When he leaves the White House next month, one of Bill Clinton''s career options will be to launch a weekly TV show, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned. Clinton pal Linda Bloodworth-Thomason has quietly pitched the idea, according to sources, with the NBC network expressing early interest in the project. "It would be an interview show in the great tradition of David Frost," said a well-placed source. "The president would not openly advocate issues or criticize George W. Bush, that is not his motivation." The concept is in "exploratory" stages. The show would have immediate clearance in foreign territories and would be financially lucrative, predicted one Clinton insider. A White House spokesman refused to comment on the president's plans for the future. A Bill Clinton TV show would be a back-to-the-future of sorts for the nation's 42nd president. In an interview with C-SPAN's Brian Lamb in 1988 -- recorded after Clinton delivered a disastrous keynote address at the Democratic National Convention -- the Arkansas comer said he would have a media career if he were not in government. "I could see myself doing some TV... being involved in the media somehow," Clinton told Lamb.
