Senate May Ban Releases That Imitate News

1 hour, 29 minutes ago Politics - U. S. Congress

By LAURIE KELLMAN, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - The Senate passed a measure Thursday that would stop government agencies from using taxpayer funds to disguise video press releases as real news, putting the brakes on a product Democrats call propaganda.

President Bush cautioned that some responsibility for full disclosure rests with news outlets.

"It's deceptive to the American people if it's not disclosed," Bush told the American Society of Newspaper Editors on Thursday. "But it's incumbent upon people who use them to say, 'This news clip was produced by the federal government.'"

...now that corporations ARE the government...what makes their "news" any diffferent than what the government passes off as news?
