The evidence is that a former WHPS admitted that Bushco regularly gives talking points to Fox
Is this the guy trying to sell his book? He has no credibility at all - except with the left.
Again, you call them talking points. It really is just information the WH, or candidates, or politicians WANT the news orgs to consider and report on. This is another red herring by the left-wing and their willing accomplice MSNBC.
Are there specific EXAMPLES of what they allege? Did McCllelan give any examples?
Did you guys even listen to the tape? He said he separated the journalists from the commentators, he said the WH would get THEIR side of a a story out, he said that others (dems) do it as well.
McClellan: White House gave FOX commentators talking points
Well as many have often joked about how Fox News repeated the talking points that were issued by the White House to further advance the causes and desires of the current administration, it now seems this is true.
We all know that every administration wants to do its best about getting its message it wants put forth to be spread as best it can. In this case however, we have a situation where the White House and a private News organization have acted in unison in what for all intents and purposes is a propaganda arm of the government. I feel it is wrong that they did it and it would be wrong no matter which news organization did it as it is too eerily reminiscent of the late 1930's Europe.
Matthews: “Did you see FOX television as a tool when you were in the White House? As a useful avenue to get your message out?â€
McClellan: “I make a distinction between the journalists and the commentators. Certainly there were commentators and other, pundits at FOX News, that were useful to the White House.†[…] That was something we at the White House, yes, were doing, getting them talkng points and making sure they knew where we were coming from.
Matthews: “So you were using these commentators as your spokespeople.â€
McClellan: “Well, certainly.â€
Don't hold your breath folks, MSNBC and CNN's entertainment propaganda isn't anymore sophisticated, it is only glazed over in the fun of beating the dead horse that is this administration.
Watch this. Can't say I'm shocked, but still. Doesn't give me a good feeling.
That's why Fox, CNN, and MSNBC are the three stooges of broadcast journalism.
But, with the dumbification of America brings a very lucrative marketing niche for news-atainment like this. Right alongside "making money from home" ads.
Do you seriously think this is unbiased media reporting?
You can't even remotely look at that and not see the jealousy from losing all their ratings to fox.
There is a difference between being biased or even partisan and being a tool of the government. (ie a propaganda arm)
I have come to believe that the fourth estate has now become the fifth column that is as easily manipulated and engaged in furthering its own agenda as it is about its flippant disregard for objectivity.
