 February 28, 2005 Schwarzenegger 'News Release' Called 'Propaganda Scam' By CriticsSACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Is it real or is it fake? That question is at the heart of an accusation that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's administration is manipulating the media with a video that mimics an actual news story.
Video: "Consequently, employees are often forced to take lunch breaks when they don't want them."
The video looks and sounds like a standard news story. In fact, at least five California TV stations aired the report in its entirety. But it was really a video news release that was distributed by the Schwarzenegger administration earlier this month, promoting controversial rule changes governing a worker's right to a meal break.
Critics call the tape a "propaganda scam."
"This is an attempt to manipulate the media in Bush administration-style," said Assemblyman Paul Koretz, D-West Hollywood. Source |
