It's not quite propaganda but.....

WTKK 96.9 fm "talk" in Boston uses clip from the Bill O'Reilly show hyping Mitt Romney's notional presidential candidacy in 2008 as a station promo.
Real subtle guys...real subtle.
But then this is the same station that runs PSA's loudly and crudely celebrating the student enhancing joys of the MCAS....so I suppose puffery and truckling such as the above is the price of doing business.
I hate to clue youse guys at WTKK, but Mitt (admittedly GOP Boss Christy Mihos' greatest creation) will be long gone by 2008. He'll make the same mistake his father made selling his freedom in return for some trite cabinet position-count on it.
By 2008 Massachusetts will no doubt be in the grip of some other rightical chic amateur demagogue-unless we get our shit together.
But how often does that happen?
Otherwise this state is headed to a future that is boss ridden, hag ruled, and policed by demagogues as was once Louisiana in the golden aufklarung of Huey Long.
On the other hand maybe WTKK ought to go the blunt route and change their call letters to WGOP or some such twaddle as that.
