What is it called when a government creates a state-sponsored “news” agency, again? Ah yes, it’s called government propaganda. And that is what the Obama administration seems interested in creating if the words of Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis’s senior advisor Carl Fillichio can be believed.
The advisor to the Secretary of Labor told the audience that one of the things that vexed his department is that it was so hard to get their “news” reported by the media. “We battle every single day when we try to put something out,” Fillichio told the audience.
“We cannot depend on those other people – the traditional media – to get that message out,” Fillichio said.
Imagine what is being said here. A person of high position in the Department of Labor is proposing that he be the one to “report” labor news. He is proposing that the government itself become a media agency in an effort to get around “the traditional media.”
Every totalitarian government has such government-controlled agencies, of course. Who can forget the U.S.S.R.’s famed Pravda and Izvestia news agencies?
Lastly, think of this for just a minute. If Fillichio and Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis don’t think that the left-wing, Old Media is fair enough to them, just imagine how biased and left-wing the “news” that this new ministry of Big Labor information would be disgorging!
I mean if the leftists in the Old Media aren’t leftist enough to suit Obama’s Dept. of Labor, I shudder to think how far left these guys really are.
Chalk this up as yet one more step toward authoritarianism evinced by this president and his administration.

Surreal.
ReplyDeleteAnd Americans go along their merry way as if these travesties aren't happening.
Absolutely PERFECT.
ReplyDeleteFits PERFECTLY with the way these people think and HAVE to envision the world.
Rejection must mean the message doesn't get out, is confused, garbled, or the people FINALLY are too STUPID or MISLED to know what they need and is best for them since the way the path and the light is in the eyes and mind of those who know best.
I don't think these guys are the kind to cancel election or declare marshall law, or any of the paranoid fantasies, BUT THEY ARE TRUE BELIEVERS that they are good and people like us are evil OR havea mental disease.
Those people ARE A DANGER TO THE REPUBLIC. I will protect their right to think differently but NOT their right to act in a way which creates PROPAGANDA.
If their ideas cannot win in a free market of the mind, THEY LOSE.
Progressives, John Birch, LaRouche, all the same.
