Bush Administration Invents Journalists to Tout Programs.

  • NY Times: U.S. Videos, for TV News, Come Under Scrutiny. Federal investigators are scrutinizing television segments in which the Bush administration paid people to pose as journalists praising the benefits of the new Medicare law, which would be offered to help elderly Americans with the costs of their prescription medicines. The videos are intended for use in local television news programs. Several include pictures of President Bush receiving a standing ovation from a crowd cheering as he signed the Medicare law on Dec. 8.
  • The deceptions are bad enough. The shamelessness of these people is even more amazing.

    [Dan Gillmor's eJournal]

    Have these guys no shame?
