We
\n were shocked, frankly, shocked to read in this morning’s Boston
\n Globe<\/a> that the US Government has been distributing
\n pro-Administration propaganda disguised as fair and balanced news reporting.
\n Question: If you can’t trust the major news media, and you can’t trust
\n the US government news, who can you trust? Answer: The Dowbrigade
\n News – you can trust that everything published on these pages is of dubious
\n pedigree and open to question.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n news stations across the country aired a story by Mike Morris describing
\n plans for a new White House ad campaign on the dangers of drug abuse.<\/p>\n
\n and his ”report" was produced by the government, actions which constituted
\n illegal ”covert propaganda," according to an investigation by the
\n Government Accountability Office.<\/p>\n
\n by the Office of National Drug Control Policy, there was nothing in the
\n two-minute, prepackaged reports that would indicate to viewers that they
\n came from the government or that Morris, a former journalist, was working
\n under contract for the government.<\/p>\n
