Arnold Uses Fake News to End Workplace Lunch
"Not only is Arnold trying to end lunch, he's taking a page from the Bush Administration and using CA taxpayer to produce news style videos to do it.

"Democratic Assemblyman Paul Koretz suggested Monday the video violated a ban on spending tax money to produce propaganda - and said he would ask the attorney general's office to investigate.

Koretz claimed at least five TV stations ran the video verbatim.

"If a television station is lazy enough just to take this video (and run it), it completely manipulates and skews the story," Assemblyman Paul Koretz said."

Schwarzenegger spokesman said "it's just a news release on an issue the labor unions are completely opposed to."

1. "it's just a news release on an issue the labor unions are completely oppo
If it was produced by the state, and state sponsored how does it qualify as news?

6. Orwellianism and BushPutinism are all about redfining the language
One day, our great-grandchildren (if the Imperials are not stopped and it is looking like that from here) will view anything NOT from the State as "Liberal Propaganda" the same way the nazis and Good Germans viewed the same as "Jewish Propaganda".

The more things change the more they stay the same.

These are, in fact, the Good Old Days and Imperial Amerika is all downhill from here.

The poor bastards alive in Amerika 2050, which will be Fully Transformed by then, will look upon us with envy for the freedom we enjoy, and disgust, for being such cowards and weasewls that we did NOTHING to stop from losing it.

4. Koretz is a GREAT state legislator and honestly is a man FOR PEOPLE and
for Californians.

Koretz has lead the many fights against animal cruelty (declawing laws, soon, animal mutilation laws as well) and non-smoking in public places, and was the first City Councilman to propose banning handguns in the USA.

Now, he's standing up for worker's rights too, and opposing AHNULD.

Good for him, and pay attention to this man. He's a good one for the PEOPLE and for real ISSUES.

California State Assemblyman Paul Koretz of West Hollywood.

THREE CHEERS!
