FOX News Outed as Mouthpiece for Bush Administration

FOX News Busted

It should probably read: FOX News Outed as Mouth of Sauron. Not particularly surprising.

On July 25th 2008 on Hardball with Chis Matthews, Scott McClellan, former White House Press Secretary, admitted that the White House uses FOX News as a propaganda machine. McClellan says, “Certainly there were commentators and other, pundits at FOX News, that were useful to the White House,” adding that they were given “talking points.”

McClellan also told MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann that “it was done frequently, especially on high-profile issues” and that FOX News often gave the White House “its desired results.” Current Press Secretary Dana Perino would only tell Olbermann, “I’m not aware of that.”

As I said not surprising - FOX News’ claim of “Fair and Balanced” is utterly laughable at this point.

If FOX News is complicit in this as it seems to be the it is nothing less than propaganda though a state organ. As Rachel Maddow says in the video, “it’s not Pravda.”
