Is This Our Tax Dollars At Work?

Are public funds being used for George Bush's "town hall meetings" to discuss Social Security that only supporters of Bush's privatization/destruction plan are allowed to attend? People have been denied entrance to these supposedly "public" talks for no other reason than a parking lot check of their vehicle revealed a bumper sticker that read "No Blood For Oil".

Have we heard about any of these restrictions on mainstream media? This is not a campaign stump paid for by campaign contributions of supporters. These are our tax dollars at work. A gay prostitute can gain entrance to the White House Press Room and address Bush but someone with a bumper sticker protesting the Iraq invasion cannot gain entrance to hear Bush speak in their home town auditorium about Social Security, a subject unrelated to either Iraq or their bumper sticker.

Showing film clips on the news of Bush entering to wild applause and his remarks being met with cheers is simply staged propaganda with a selected audience masquerading as "fair and balanced" news. In reality it is neither fair, nor balanced, nor news. The news would be that public funds are again being used to produce propaganda to promote programs that can't stand on their own merit.
