CSpan question - who does propaganda the best?
First time callers.

Brian Lamb is asking for specific names - eg Michael Moore, O'Liely, Limpballs, etc.

1. Half of these callers don't know what Propaganda is
Or so it seems.

2. GOPs have spent $Billions in "foundation money" to develop their message
I have been studying it at this website of late: www.mediatransparency.org

4. So, who do we (DUers) think does propaganda the "best"?
My vote goes to Fox and Rush.

5. Thinking to small. The Award goes to the Whole Lie Machine I call
Goebbels v2.0

It includes

The Arkansas project (which I'm sure is continuing under another guise with a fresh bullpen because the original monsters are now all Bushevik 'stars')
Corrupted Federalist front-group judges (damn it someone NEEDS to do that study about their ruling patterns when ruling on Federalist cases! 97% anyone?)
The Bushevik Party-Loyal Sub-Media (Fox, Moonie Times, NY Post, all the rest of Murdoch, Clear Channel, AM Talk Radio, more more MUCH MORE)
The Bushevik "Think Tanks" which long ago stopped thinking like analysts and long ago shifted to PR, framing, branding, etc.
Bushevik Infiltrators and Mockingbirds who throw sand in the gears of objective discussions wherever they manage to gain seats as hosts (Russert, Matthews, etc.) stack the deck as badly as Faux, poison the well of public information...not because of their point of view, per se, but the dishonest ways they are framed and routinely lied about)

I know I'm missing aspects of this. But, you get the idea...

6. Any takers?
I say Fox in general.
Rush in particular.
