The U.S. government is now targeting political blogs in its latest propaganda attacks.
I'm going to go out on a limb and bet John's answer to this request is no.
This is another huge waste of taxpayers' money. This also borders on the grounds of being illegal.
It's just funny, really--with all of its failures, this administration still attempts to propagandize the American people rather than take accountability for its failures.
