Fool us twice, you won't fool us again: The Bush administration has promoted its education law with a video that comes across as a news story but fails to make clear the reporter involved was paid with taxpayer money. The government used a similar approach this year in promoting the new Medicare law and drew a rebuke from the investigative arm of Congress, which found the videos amounted to propaganda in violation of federal law...The story ends with the voice of a woman saying, "In Washington, I'm Karen Ryan reporting." It does not identify the government as the source of the report. It also fails to make clear the person purporting to be a reporter was someone hired for the promotional video. Those are the same features -- including the voice of Karen Ryan -- that were prominent in videos the Health and Human Services Department used to promote the Medicare law and were judged covert propaganda by the Government Accountability Office in May.
