White House Fake News Story on Medicare

The New York Times has an article about fake news stories created by the White House to promote its new Medicare law. This takes disinformation to a new level. However, if the White House hadn't been the culprit, I would probably be more bemused than concerned. Campaigns in recent memory include fake websites for The Blair Witch Project, a personal robot ad that really promotes I Robot, and, of course, the lies people tell blind dates. Is this much different? But, more importantly, has it happened before?
