Propoganda
A New York congresswoman asked the White House to explain Wednesday why a man who worked for a news Web site owned by a GOP activist was able to obtain White House press credentials under an assumed name.
Apparently James Guckert reported from the White House under the name Jeff Gannon actually worked for a news web site run by a GOP activist.
In a letter to President Bush, Rep. Louise Slaughter, a Democrat, questioned why Guckert routinely received credentials for White House news briefings.
Slaughter linked Guckert's case to recent revelations that two conservative columnists who supported Bush administration policies had received government money.
"It appears that 'Mr. Gannon's' presence in the White House press corps was merely as a tool of propaganda for your administration," Slaughter wrote.
Here's a question Mr. Guckert asked at the last press conference:Guckert asked Bush how he could deal with Democratic congressional leaders "who seem to have divorced themselves from reality."
This White House is all about propoganda. They pay columnists to write favorable stories on their policies and now this.
