Karen Ryan Reporting

You may not know it, but the Bush Administration has its own personal taxpayer-funded reporter, and I'm not even talking about Carl Cameron. I'm referring Karen Ryan, a sham journalist who anchors news stories puffing up the administration's scant accomplishments in education and health care.

Actually, those are only the Karen Ryan exclusives we know about. In order to spread propaganda while staying below the radar, the administration sends her prepackaged reports to dumb or lazy television stations in the hopes that they'll run them without any scrutiny. The reports on education and health care are only the ones that have been discovered -- and I'm pretty sure Karen Ryan works on more than two stories a year. So I sat down and tried to imagine the pro-Bush spins of some other Karen Ryan "scoops":

-Taxpayer dollars help heroic reporter counter liberal bias of Fox News

-Fossil fuel consumption down 100 percent among soldiers killed in Iraq

-Inheritance tax threatens Paris Hilton's funding for next 11 sex tapes

-Scientific panel says Kerry would raise taxes and give the money to terrorists

I hate to make another joke about Karen Ryan and Fox both being shills for Bush, but's it is interesting to see what comes when you go to Google images and type in the phrase, "reporter Karen Ryan."
