Propaganda on Television

If the government won’t tell us the truth about 9/11, the least the media could do is not whitewash airbrush even the official story.

Billmon suggests that the corporate consolidation of the media might not have been such a good thing for democracy.

Update: All good propaganda has to have a strategic objective, and the Rude Pundit shows us how it works.

Update 2: I know there are a lot of reasons to dislike Bill Clinton, but do you think for ABC to call his supporters Clintonistas is a bit much for a purportedly neutral mainstream media organization?

Hat-tip to skippy.

Update 3: Glenn Greenwald explains the implications of this and the timing.

Update 4: Oh it gets even better. George Bush wants them to reserve 20 minutes of the last hour for him, to personally engage himself with the audience.
