Bush Says He Has No Plans to Stop Making Fake News Stories

I don't have a problem with this. From what i understand, jesus did stuff like this all of the time.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush said on Wednesday that the U.S. government's practice of sending packaged news stories to local television stations was legal and he had no plans to cease it.
His defense of the packages, which are designed to look like television news segments, came after they were deemed a form of covert propaganda by the Government Accountability Office watchdog agency.

GAO, an arm of Congress, said this ran counter to appropriation laws and was a misuse of federal funds.

But Bush cited a Justice Department opinion that disagreed with the GAO.

"There is a Justice Department opinion that says these -- these pieces -- are within the law, so long as they're based upon facts, not advocacy," the president told a news conference.

... is fake news. Fuck him and the Hughes he rode in on.

touch becomes tainted. It is the kiss of death 4 their evil eye 2 B turned on any sector, issue or program. I abhor these a**holes.

That's why he's a dickwad.

behind his/her name does fake news.

I'm saving all bush's "the POTUS is above any and all laws" rhetoric for when we own the entire US government, the judges, and the media. :)

him on it...and it seems no one can really stop him. Congress sure as hell isn't doing anything. The media isn't making any big scandal out of it.
He figures that if you don't like the way he is playing the game, YOU can just go home!!

Just wondering... I could argue both ways, and am willing to do so if you have cognizant points.

I said that because bush says he is doing god work, yet jesus would never do something like that.

I watch network and CNN news daily and have never seen one.
Are yhey just on Fox?

they won't tell you where the story comes from. It could be just about anything we're seeing on the news these days.

bush is lying and cheating. Oh wait that's all he does so never mind. :)

No government propaganda pieces from federal, state or local govt (Arnold is making "news" videos, too). At the very least, any such videos should be clearly labeled as government-made if they are aired.

As DFA media chair in San Diego, I'm asking everyone to flood our local stations with this request. I urge you all to do the same.
