White House: Report "Fishy" Disinformation (http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/5197)

A WhiteHouse.gov blog (http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/Facts-Are-Stubborn-Things/) is encouraging American citizens to report to the White House any “disinformation” on the president’s health care bill that appears “fishy,” as the White House needs to be informed about opposition to the proposed reform.
Linda Douglass, the communications director from a White House office specializing in health care reform rhetoric, I mean "disinformation" gathering, is asking for the public’s help in reporting anyone who isn’t touting the president’s position according to White House Hoyle:
There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to " flag@whitehouse.gov This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ."
Douglass and her boss seem to be upset by the “scary chain emails and videos [that] are starting to percolate on the internet, breathlessly claiming, for example, to ‘uncover’ the truth about the President’s health insurance reform positions.”
Douglass’ video on the website explains that the president is just trying to bring health reform to the American people via disciplining insurance companies, and says how unfortunate it is that people with a computer “and a lot of time on their hands” are “cherry picking” certain aspects of the bill and presenting them out of context. They find it hard to believe that Americans wouldn’t want this, as it is similar to the federal employee system of health care exchanges.
Also from the website comes:
For the record, the President has consistently said that if you like your insurance plan, your doctor, or both, you will be able to keep them.
So, perhaps the President should be reported to flag@whitehouse.gov This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

As far as the snitch program goes, I can just see a Saturday Night Live-style skit on this one already....
