Are The Democrats Finally Doing something Useful?

The 'Stop Government Propaganda Act'
According to a release, publicity or propaganda is defined in the bill as: news releases or publications that do not clearly identify the government agency responsible for the content; audio/visual or Internet presentations that do not identify the responsible government agency; any attempt to manipulate journalists or news organizations; messages created to aid a political party or candidate; messages with a "self-aggrandizing" purpose or "puffery of the Administration, agency, executive branch programs or policies or pending legislation"; and, finally, messages that are "so misleading or inaccurate that they constitute propaganda."
Boy if they can get this passed and especially if they can make it retroactive, seems to me they could lock up the whole Bush adminstration.

Not very likely, obviously.
