propaganda

the government is spending your money on propaganda (NYT Sunday). To be clear, I do not say this lightly or in the flippant manner of many reactionary lefties. This is actual propaganda: hundreds of videos, produced by government agencies to appear as TV news spots, with hugely positive spin on the President’s policies, being sent to and put on air by local television news shows. The Governator has started doing it also.

This should scare you in a serious and fundamental way. It also highlights what I see as both a strategically and morally important cause for the democrats, fight for democracy itself.

    This isn’t a new practice. Clinton even did it. It’s just the spin-doctors catching up to the instantaneous and non-stop news cycle.
