It has been some time since I have actively followed this group.
Has the purpose of alt.news-media changed in the last two years?  
It would seem that the bulk postings to this group are little more
than White House press releases -- this is "now" considered an 
alternative media source?

Maybe someone should dust off a copy of the group charter and find out
where we all stand.  At this rate, the group should be renamed to 
alt.news-bill or us.washington.propaganda.
