James Tapper of ABC blogged the other day about the White House shooing away the Press when the Lady Huskies Basketball team was at the White House and were shooting "hoops" with the Spender-In-Chief. After the fact, the White House produced their own video piece of the event.
So now the White House is producing its own "fawning over the Obamessiah" video Worshipmentaries.
The White House has apparently created the Office of Official Propaganda Services... or OOPS!
We report... you deride! ;-P
Though the message is positive in tone, it is a little disturbing to see the White House doing this sort of thing and not a press outlet.
What is next? How wonderful socialized medicine is? Or... how "patriotic" it is to pay confiscatory taxes?
There are people who will defend this til the cows come home, the problem I see is historically, dictatorial rule in Germany and Italy, and anywhere else (Chavez comes to mind) all do this sort of thing. Make their own propaganda material.
Just food for thought.
