Bush Propaganda: Identical Editorials Across Nation


Since the Bushies got caught hiring journalists to spew government propaganda, they've apparently resorted to inserting it into newspaper editorials.

Facing South reports:

What do this newspaper editorial, this one, this one, and this one all have in common?

All of them are unsigned editorials, which makes it look like they're original opinion pieces for each paper. (The Colorado Springs Gazette even says it's "our view.")

And they all happen to say exactly the same thing, beginning with this paragraph:

One of the smartest things President Bush did to reduce recovery costs in the aftermath of hurricanes Katrina and Rita was to suspend Davis-Bacon Act rules in the hardest hit states. But Congress is frantically trying to overrule the president, which would add billions of dollars to the already staggering recovery costs.

How long has this been going on? Did the Bushies write their own editorial endorsements in 2004? That would explain how they got any.

Clearly, the lesson is: Anytime you see a positive word about Bush in the media, be suspicious because you can not trust your government, because you can not trust Republicans.
