Reframing the President: 'Under Bush, a new age of prepackaged television news'

"A potentially great and damning story that pulls its punches, out of abject fear on the part of gutless Times editors, in order to appear to be "fair and balanced." There is nothing to balance in this story. The truth is all on one side: the Bush administration is the most devious in American history and its propaganda machine rivals that of Joseph Goebbels'. That isn't hyperbole on my part. I've studied Goebbels' methods and academic commentary on it, and it has to have been a foundation in the thinking of Karl Rove. Why doesn't the White House Press Corps simply walk out en masse at the next press conference?"-comment on the story in today's New York Times, reposted on The Smirking Chimp.
