not sure that's a helpful addition
The prevaling attitude of "we want power at any cost" is typical of [[Bush regime|the last four years in Washington]], D.C. There is a LOT of spending ("at any cost"); there are ethics challenges ([[Tom DeLay]]) which are met with rules to disregard ethics standards; the Senate passes [[Conference committee|bills which nobody has read]], and which contain [[The Homeland and Lilly Protection Act|provisions for which nobody will take responsibilty]]; the House will blatantly break its own rules in order to [[Medicare Prescription Drug Bill Vote Scandal, 2003|badger its members into conforming to the party line]] on votes. It's not "government" by the kindest of definitions; certainly not "democracy". '''It is [[partisan]].''' It is a disgrace.

I'm not sure that the addition of "But beware of deliberately placed lies that are repeated with the hope that people will believe it if it is repeated often enough" in the "Recognizing Propaganda" is really all that helpful. It pre-supposes that media viewers / readers recognise it as a lie when the section is about spotting plausible information designed to deceive.--[[User:Bob Burton|Bob Burton]] 04:47, 24 Oct 2005 (EDT)
