''Start Change Now -> Stop Fake News''

"On Sunday, March 13th, The New York Times broke a major story outlining how the Bush administration has used millions of dollars of taxpayer money to produce and disseminate fake news programs that support a partisan political agenda. These government-produced segments have frequently aired on broadcast TV stations across the country without proper disclosure. Not only is this unacceptable, it is also illegal. Please send an email to the Federal Communications Commission and the Justice Department and ask them to Stop Fake News."-from Start Change Now, featured on Talking Points Memo's discussion of the "Bamboozlepalooza Tour." Fake News Update: "Don't they have Google at NYT?" from Kos: "First CBS falls prey to the obviously slanted reporting from a fake news organization, and then the NYT does the exact same thing. Two years ago, CBS "60 Minutes" linked a chicken farm in Georgia to terrorists. Turns out the source of the organization: SITE or Search for International Terrorist Entities, is a bogus front funded by pro-Bush War on Terror backers. But irony of irony, To-day, after a huge story on pre packaged fake news they did it again. in the same issue!!!"
