Faux News From the Bush Crime Team

@ 09:33 PM (27 months, 20 days ago)

As if the real news wasn't bad enough....

Seems like the Bush Crime Team has been planting fake news stories within American broadcast media.

According to a report from the Centre for Media and Democracy concluded that over a 10 month period, AT LEAST 77 television stations were airing fake news casts provided by BushCo.  These are known as VNRs (Video News Releases).

In one particular case, the Bushies fed television stations video of an Iraqi-American (residing in Kansas City) was shown saying "Thank you Bush. Thank you USA." In actuality, the footage was produced by the State Department. 

Investigators from the Federal Communications Commission are looking into the matter.
