**** THIS VIDEO tells us something very important. That the news media is given prepackaged news stories that have been produced by the Government using tax payers money to be shown on the news with no disclosure as to where the video came from.

This is a Presidential News Conference 3/16/05. The journalist is Ken Herman speaking to then President George W. Bush. Andrea Mitchell reported shortly after that "for millions of viewers, the government has found the best way to spin the news is to produce the stories itself… On issues from Medicare to pharm prices, hundreds of local stations are running stories extolling Bush administration policies, reaching tens of millions of people. But all these reports were written and distributed by the administration and its public relations firms — not by journalists." Christopher Lee writes in The Washington Post about the memos the White House sent out last week, insisting "that it is legal for federal agencies to feed TV stations prepackaged news stories that do not disclose the government’s role in producing them." Those memos essentially overruled a Feb. 17 memo from Comptroller General David M. Walker. Lee writes: "In an interview yesterday, Walker said the administration’s approach is both contrary to appropriations law and unethical. "’This is more than a legal issue. It’s also an ethical issue and involves important good government principles, namely the need for openness in connection with government activities and expenditures,’ Walker said." McClellan addressed the issue in his briefing a day after saying "As long as this is factual information about department or agency programs, it is perfectly appropriate," he said. In fact, he added, "I think agencies and departments have an obligation to provide the American people with factual information about their programs." Here’s how Ken Herman reported it for Fox News Service: "The White House, intent on continuing to crank out ‘video news releases’ that look like television news stories, has told government agency heads to ignore a Government Accountability Office memo criticizing the practice as illegal propaganda."
