Fake News, California Style
From the L.A. Times:
Using taxpayer money, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's administration has sent television stations statewide a mock news story extolling a proposal that would benefit political boosters in the business community by ending mandatory lunch breaks for many hourly workers.
The tape looks like a news report and is narrated by a former television reporter who now works for the state. […] Snippets aired on as many as 18 stations earlier this month, the administration said.
Whole thing here.
