The Fed's PR War

Posted by Gary Howard on 12/01/09 5:21 PM

In recent weeks, the Federal Reserve and its agents have been engaging in a public relations battle in response to the growing call for a GAO audit. Now, Chairman Bernanke and his cohorts are ramping up those efforts by framing itself as a trustworthy entity.

From the Chicago Tribune:

The Fed has made a 45-second public service announcement instructing consumers on how to use their credit cards wisely. The spot will run before movie previews at theaters in 12 U.S. cities in a campaign that started Friday and ends Thursday.

Over jazzy music, the announcer asks, "Want to use your credit card wisely? Here are some tips you can trust from the Federal Reserve." With the Fed logo featured prominently, the ad offers suggestions such as paying your bill on time and watching for changes in account terms.

As you can see, the folks at the Fed want you average citizens to view them in a positive light, as a sort of helpful bit of financial advice and assistance. This effort shows nothing but condescension toward the American taxpayers--who finance the whole show.

Of course, no one who knows the truth will be fooled by this chicanery. And neither will they allow the Federal Reserve to lobby/Enron its way out of true transparency.

This new bit of advertising PR comes after these folks have unsucccesfully rolled out countless former Fed employees to badmouth, mislead, and scaremonger about HR 1207, the most common sense legislation that has come along in a long time--which is stilll waiting to be passed as a standalone bill.
