Whoa!! Look who’s talkin’ bout propaganda in politics!!!

February 22, 2010 By janalfi

Newly named Harvard University Institute of Politics Fellow (yes, Fellow) Ernest J. Istook, Jr., former GOP U.S. Rep. from Oklahoma, graduate of Baylor, and Distinguished Fellow at The Heritage Foundation will lead study group this Thursday (2/25) on “Propaganda in Today’s American Politics.”  

Increasingly, much of the public believe they are being deliberately misinformed, deceived and manipulated by the information coming from the government, from elected officials, and from political groups. . . Attendees will benefit by learning to distinguish the trustworthiness of political claims and of information they recieve through the media.

Sounds good, eh?

And look at Istook’s guest list for this study group and future ones:

  • Brent Bozell – president of Media Research Center (2/25)
  • Andrew Breitbart – Drudge Report editor and much more (3/4)
  • Jenny Mark/Mark Meckler – National Tea Party Patriots (3/11)
  • Michael Harrison – publisher of “Talkers Magazine” 3/25
  • John Fund – columnist The Wall Street Journal (4/1)  (Perhaps, this is an April Fools’ Day joke)

    What an incredible line-up!  Boy, if you want to learn everything about propaganda at the knees of the right-wing experts, this is the place to be.

    But, wait a gosh darn second!!!  What happened to fair and balanced?  OMG!!!  Do you think Fox’s “fair and balanced” could be PROPAGANDA!!!!

    Where are David Brock and Bill Moyers when you really need them?

    💯FACTS! And what's being proposed by @MayorWu DOESN'T fix the problem. At BEST—KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD & Black, brown & poor OUT of Boston. Btw—@AyannaPressley reps one of POOREST & most DISADVANTAGED districts in congress, yet awful quit on home issues. #UrbanAgenda #BOSpoli https://twitter.com/OnlyInBOS/status/1618753149560291331

    Jim Jones Lyons RINO Snowflake @evanmlips can't handle the facts. So he runs away with his tail between his legs. Sad. This is what Team Kool-Aid Lyons do. They burn and run. Weak. #DumpJimLyons #mapoli
