Just as the Department of Health and Human Services did last year with the White House's Medicare reform bill, it seems the Department of Education has been sending out faux 'news' videos to local TV stations promoting the No Child Left Behind bill.
(They even use the same faux reporter -- 'Karen Ryan' -- as appeared in the earlier HHS videos.)
...The company that the Department of Education hired to produce the 'news' videos was also hired to analyze and rank news coverage of the law in order to gauge the success of their PR campaign.
...[A]ccording to the AP story, in the rankings paid for by the Department, "points are awarded for stories that say President Bush and the Republican Party are strong on education."
What's the public interest in that exactly. That's campaign work, paid for by tax dollars.

Obviously they are not interested in the public interest. How much plainer do they have to get than to use the same phony "reporter" in the same ploy that got them busted on the Mediare bill?!? Jeezus. "Fuck you, public. You're stupid. We can poke you in the eye, then slap you on the back of the head and then give you the full measure. You're gonna bend over for it every time."
Well, this is the same Department of Education that asks "How high?" when Lynne Cheney says "Jump".
