BNN strikes again

November 7, 2006 Posted by Paul at 3:28 PM

Noel Shepard at Newsbusters reports on the MSM's treatment of "Robo-calls." These are repeat telephone calls by a telemarketing software program that critics claim violate federal communications laws (and that are annoying as hell, and thus likely to backfire). This matter has become a major talking point for left-wing blogs, and the MSM is duly depicting Robo-calls as a Republican strategy. In so doing, the MSM ignores its widespread use by Democratic candidates, as noted by Michele Malkin.

The main offending liberal news organizations? According to Shepard, they are the New York Times and CNN which, he says, "seems fixated on the propaganda being disseminated at 'top liberal blogs'"
