They're back! WH.gov STRS section is on MAINPAGE again.

Setting the Record Straight is a bunch of propaganda put out for public consumption on the official White House website. Consensus last spring on DU was that partisan information, politically tilted propaganda like this is not legally allowed on a public funded website such as this (as if the cabal cares squat about legalities, but still there you go).

The direct link was removed last April due to the fine actions of DUers and other like minded people.
I found this section of WH webpage April 17, 2006 and promptly posted it here.

Several of us contacted the media and politicians sourced there, with many thanks to Will and TruthOut for publicizing it further, and the direct link was removed from the WH website April 20, 2006. I could still find it by searching, but there was no direct link.

It is back, between Homeland Security and National Security. I wonder if its placement is to increase the likelihood that it will be taken seriously. http://www.whitehouse.gov/ It is, well, take a look for yourself. Direct link to STRS is http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/setting-record-straight/index.html
Feel free to contact any or all people involved.

Why does this matter when people are dying, sex scandals are brewing? Every little bit counts. Even if they are flailing, we cannot let up pressure and must get through wherever we can.

8. it may be small potatoes, but still I hate paying for propaganda

and these guys really piss me off as well as scare me. Sent a note off to TruthOut again also, since they publicized this before also.

4. I just emailed Bob Woodward, congratulating him on his achievement

This may not be as sexy as, well, sex scandal, but still needs addressing as it is obvious propaganda paid for by the public.

6. Here's a goody from the Bob Woodward STRS

# President Bush Has Been Clear With The American People That We Are In A Tough, Critical Struggle. THE PRESIDENT: "Our nation has been through three difficult years in Iraq. And the way forward will bring more days of challenge and loss." (President Bush, Remarks, Chicago, IL, 5/22/06)

* President Bush: "The Government Is Still A Work In Progress, And Overcoming Longstanding Divisions Will Take Time. Iraq's New Leaders Know They Have A Great Deal Of Work Ahead To Broaden The Base Of Their Government And To Unite The People." (President Bush, Remarks, Chicago, IL, 5/22/06)
* President Bush's December 2005 Address To The Nation: "Yet Our Work Is Not Done. There Is More Testing And Sacrifice Before Us." (President Bush, Address To The Nation, Washington, DC, 12/18/05)

I guess "Mission Accomplished" "Major combat operations in Iraq have ended." (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/05/01/iraq/main551946.shtml) ACTUALLY mean "we are in for a long tough struggle".

I HATE PROPAGANDA, especially when I have to pay for it too, like on this website.
