Disturbing if true.

From the S.F. Chronicle regarding the White House's tactics to sell the Medicare Law:
In order to sell the complicated and skimpy plan to seniors, the Department of Health and Human Services is paying actors to pose as journalists in bogus TV "news'' reports. Videos have been sent to TV stations, along with government-prepared scripts for news anchors to read. The idea is to make propaganda appear to be unbiased news during prime-time viewing.
The above is just a snippet. This was listed as an Op-Ed. The piece reads like hard news.

I have no idea whether or not it's factual. It does fit within a larger pattern of deceit that this Administration is becoming rather infamous for, but that doesn't make it true. We'll wait and see if there is confirmation before we admonish the White House over their latest.
