WHIG Establishes Systematic Talking Points Distribution Network Across Media Platforms

| Importance: 9/10 | Status: confirmed

The White House Iraq Group creates a comprehensive talking points distribution system that provides identical messaging frameworks to television networks, ensuring synchronized propaganda dissemination across supposedly independent media platforms. Members like Karl Rove strategically leaked information to media outlets like The New York Times, then used those articles as ‘independent’ confirmation of administration narratives about Iraq.

Key Actors

Karl Rove Andrew Card Condoleezza Rice Karen Hughes Mary Matalin Dan Bartlett Scooter Libby Michael Gerson Ari Fleischer Stephen Hadley
