Def: "AGITPROP" -propaganda; especially : political propaganda promulgated chiefly in literature, drama, music, or art

You remember the Dan Rather kerfuffle a while back... forged documents used in a television news article to smear President Bush were proved false by the Blogosphere. A recent article by Rush Limbaugh reveals that this sort of thing is getting worse. Photographs are being doctored to make the story fit the agenda. Worse still, photos and video are being staged to simulate newsworthy material so that the "sight-byte" will make the evening world news. This video on YouTube.com is just fascinating to watch. Michelle Malkin's "Vent" is also worth watching.

That the truth about these things is only getting out via the Blogosphere is more proof that the traditional media outlets are less and less trustworthy. "According to Palestinian sources..." is a tagline to watch out for.
