Yesterday, The New York Times described how the Bush administration has used millions of dollars of taxpayer money to produce and disseminate fake news programs that support a partisan political agenda.
These government-produced segments have frequently aired on broadcast TV stations across the country without proper disclosure. Even though I used to write news releases and seek placement of news stories for a living, I can't imagine anyone but the local weekly papers reproducing my work in full. The fact that news stations are running the fake stuff is just another symptom of the bizzare state of the news business today.
