FEMA Stages Fake Press Conference

FEMA, The Federal Emergency Management Agency, the same agency that totally blew it on Hurricane Katrina because George Bush had appointed Michael Brown, a former Judges and Stewards Comissioner for the International Arabian Horse Association, was caught staging a fake press conference in regards to the wildfires in California. Fema had it's own employees pose as reporters and ask questions such as, "Are you happy with FEMA's response so far?"

Even though the White House denounced the staged press conference, they have a history of doing the same.

As Reuters reports:

In 2004 the investigative arm of Congress, the Government Accountability Office, accused the administration of "covert propaganda" in distributing video packages about federal health programs that looked like independent news reports.
Conservative pundit Armstrong Williams lost a syndication deal for his column in 2005 and apologized after a disclosure that he accepted $240,000 from the Bush administration to promote education legislation in his commentaries.

U.S. defense officials that year also confirmed that U.S. troops wrote articles that were planted in Iraqi newspapers in exchange for money.

What has happened to the American democracy? You might expect this from a fascist state, but things like this are happening in our own country and for some reason we're not speaking out against it. I mean paying troops only if they write pro-war articles? Deleting all information about the the health effects of Global Warming from a government report. Paying news reporters to report in ways favorable to the government. It's really unbelievable. And these are only the things that have been leaked. God knows how many fake reports or press conferences have gone unnoticed.
