US government faked Bush news reports /Actors hired for video
TV news reports in America that showed President George Bush getting a standing ovation from potential voters have been exposed as fake, it has emerged.
The US government admitted it paid actors to pose as journalists in video news releases sent to TV stations intending to convey support for new laws about health benefits.

Investigators are examining the film segments, in which actors pretending to be journalists praise the benefits of the new law passed last year by President Bush, to see if they could be construed as propaganda.

Two of the films are signed off by "Karen Ryan", who was an actor hired to read a script prepared by the government, according to production company Home Front Communications

2. okay...how come that liberal media doesn't run with this? This
is irrefutable prove that the myth of liberal media is just that...a myth. Journalist should all be called pornalist. This should be everywhere on the news, along with all the other atrocities of this bozo government.

7. Notice that this came out in March. Jon Stewart (our main news
program here in the states) had a wonderful program on it. The mainstream media was busy doing the same for free.

Did this slip entirely under the radar, or just mine?

note: LittleApple81 - See! proof I am the slowest typist on the face of the planet. Glad you caught it, too.
