Faux News



I usually steer clear of all the bullshit politics but I couldn't stop thinking about this. 2db put me on to this attack on Faux News as Ex-White House Press Secretary, Scott McClellan, says that Faux News is a propaganda tool for the White House.

Fox in the White House: It is one of those things you kind of assume to be true all along… and yet are shocked when hard confirmation actually comes. Our fourth story tonight, from the former White House press secretary himself, word that the Bush White House routinely sent–and as far as we know, still sends– literal talking points to Fox News for its primetime propagandists, Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity and others… to spout, as if ventriloquist dummies, as if they had thought of it themselves, as if they had come to those opinions independently, as if there had been a process either fair… or balanced.
