We Knew This

On Hardball Scott McClellan admits that the White House would send talking points to Fox News. He did not seem to get that this is illegal. In the US there is not supposed to be media that, like Pravda, just gives you the government's point of view. This is called propaganda. It would have been different if the commentators had said according to the White House "Obama being greeted like a rock star should be a red flag." But Fox uses these talking points without attribution.
We already knew that government agencies would send out programs to be used like regular news segments unattributed and that the White House paid reporters. This is just the last straw.
