Networks agree to spread Obama propaganda

Topics: Political News and commentaries

As Alan Orfi explains over at Wizbang, The four leading broadcast networks have agreed to promote President Obama's initiatives of "service and volunteering" by embedding these themes into many of their programs for a full week beginning October 19th:

[...] . Masked by a program run by the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF), the Obama administration has convinced our major television networks to weave specific liberal agendas into a multitude of programs. According to an EIF press release, shows that will inculcate the concepts of "service and volunteering" incorporate many of the most popular programs including All My Children, America's Funniest Home Videos, 30 Rock, CSI Miami, Dancing with the Stars, Days of our Lives, Desperate Housewives, General Hospital, Good Morning America, Grey's Anatomy, Modern Family, One Life to Live, Private Practice, The Biggest Loser, The Office, The View and Today Show along with many others. In a recent press release, EIF cleverly disguises this effort to inject liberal indoctrination about government-run health care, global warming, abortion, public bailouts along with this "service and volunteering" endeavor next week as a charitable endeavor ...

Read it all ...

As Alan goes on to point out in his piece, the networks' complicity in this effort to seamlessly enfold a specific Obama agenda such as "service and volunteering" is downright chilling. Given the White House's recent attack on Fox News, a network that doesn't tout the Obama spin, I suggest that the word "chilling" is an understatement; perhaps a better discriptive would be "bone-chilling creepy." This is more characteristic of Stalin's era in Russia, and more recently Putin's, than a free society. When the government attempts to shape the news, and even worse - the media voluntarily roles over to the government and allows it, we are on our way to loosing a free press entirely.
