Viewer Beware (washingtonpost.com)
Ahh yes.. signing off from Washington...
Viewer Beware (washingtonpost.com): "More important, this kind of propaganda masquerading as news is a deceitful way for a democratic government to do business; fake journalists paid by the government to deliver its version of news are as disturbing as real commentators paid by the government to tout its views. White House press secretary Scott McClellan defended the video news releases on Monday as 'an informational tool to provide factual information to the American people.' Nice sentiment, but why, exactly, wouldn't the administration want to let the people in on one of the most salient facts: who, really, is doing the talking?"
