PROOF: Government and Media Synchronicity (via Rawstory)
Edited on Fri Feb-16-07 01:04 PM by Opposite Reaction
Collusion between the Bush Administration and the "Liberal Media"? What a surprise!

http://www.rawstory.com//news/2007/Justice_Department_leaks_its_own_talking_0215.html

"Leaked talking points scooped exclusives in New York Times, Washington Post and Denver Post

The US Department of Justice leaked its own talking points to Justice Department beat reporters Wednesday night -- apparently by accident, RAW STORY can reveal.

The talking points, intended for public affairs spokespersons, were sent to a Justice Department reporter Wednesday evening at 6:54pm. The reporter asked not to be named.

Notably, the talking points leaked stories that several major newspapers were going to report -- to reporters at other papers.

"The New York Times and The Washington Post will run stories about Sue Ellen Wooldridge, former Assistant Attorney General for the Environment and Natural Resources Division, and her shared ownership of a S.C. property with a lobbyist for Conoco Phillips," the release said."

Read the text of the release at the link. *co knows beforehand what stories or series of stories the Corporate Conservative Media lapdogs are publishing before it's published.


Edit: Changed title.

3. Crimes you don't know about won't hurt you.
Especially crimes committed by *co and then hushed up by the CCM. Remember, it's OK if you're a Republican-American.

4. Permanent war means permanent suspension of civil rights.
It also means maximized transfer of wealth from We, The People to the corporations.
