Reintroduce the STOP GOVERNMENT PROPAGANDA Act

Mon Apr 21, 2008 at 08:58:17 AM PDT

In light of the NYT bombshell regarding potentially illegal propaganda and psy-ops committed against U.S. citizens through the Pentagon and the complicit media, I think its time to revisit an old classic.

Does anyone else remember the 2005 Lautenberg "Stop Government Propaganda Act" (Introduced in Senate S 266 IS).

This was a 'Truth in Broadcasting' bill developed, in part, as a response to Bush's unethical use of VNRs (purported drug czar video news releases, propaganda by the Department of Health and Human Services, payments to columnists Armstrong Williams and Maggie Gallagher who flacked administration programs, etc.)

As you may remember, back on Feb, 2, 2005, Senator LAUTENBERG (supported by Mr. Kennedy, Mr. Durbin, Mr. Corzine, Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Dorgan, Mrs. Murray, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Reed, Mr. Lieberman (!), and Mr. Leahy) introduced a bill to stop taxpayer funded government propaganda.
