The media effectively shut down most of the effect of anything coming out of the adm by screaming "propoganda" amd "Bush lies". With the 30 second attention span of the majority of the folk, maybe this would be effective in a psa or something like that.

You have highlighted the problem with presentday media. They view their repitition of any statement from anyone in the Bush Administration as Propaganda, and therefore it is their duty NOT to spread Propaganda.
This is one of the reasons that [almost] every sentence from a DBM reporter starts with "but." This includes headlines in some newspapers!
Yesterday on Media Watch, several of the panelists used the term "smearing Joe Wilson" in discussing the Scooter Libby trial. I stopped watching when even our side used it as if it were true. Do they read or watch anything but the DBM?
