When the supposedly objective news media pens agreements with politicians to coordinate propaganda then those news organizations need to shut down and re-open as Political Action Committees. For reference, ‘propaganda’ is defined as:

The aim of propaganda is to influence people’s opinions actively, rather than to merely communicate the facts about something. For example, propaganda might be used to garner either support or disapproval of a certain position, rather than to simply present the position. What separates propaganda from “normal” communication is in the subtle, often insidious, ways that the message attempts to shape opinion.

Now realize that John Kerry has obviously penned agreements with three major news organizations to suggest (i.e., lie) that Kerry has released all his military records while these news organizations hold back key information from the public.

Mr. Kerry first promised to make public his full Navy record more than a year ago. Mr. Kerry signed the waivers for the wire service [Glen Johnson of the AP] and the Globe on May 20. The form for the Times was signed June 6.

A spokesman for Mr. Kerry rebuffed a request from the Sun for access to the service and medical files released to the other three news organizations.

This is unacceptable collusion between supposed news organizations and a politician – to promote a falsehood on the American people.
