Via Protein wisdom comes this link to a story in the LATimes that laments US propagandazing the poor, innocent, Iraqi civilians with paid stories that “are basically factual, they present only one side of events and omit information that might reflect poorly on the U.S. or Iraqi governments”.
Oh! The humanity! The sneakiness of it all and the awfulness of planting stories that are actually fact-based!
It has got to be against some UN convention or the other, I tell you. I mean, here I was I thought all you really needed for a good story is for it to be “fake but accurate” or atleast filled with lots of baloney and PC-emotion. Why does the damned US try to confuse the issue with facts?
Update: Here is more on the issue from Vodkapundit!
