If Media were to acknowledge the propaganda program there's no way to make up for the damage done
Excellent post sir. The effort you put into this article should be an example to Williams and others as to what real journalism consists of. Williams, even in his blog post, did not put any effort into checking on the military analysts he mentions as "independent". Rather than check and investigate these generals Williams just uses his own thoughts to vet them thereby sparing him the trouble of getting off his ass and actually doing some work. The most important part of his reporting is hair and make-up.
The effort and work put into Glenn's pieces shames the likes of Williams and most of the corporate media. I suspect these organizations knew all along they were spouting propaganda and just chose to ignore it. I find it hard to believe that the thought of whether or not these "experts" were biased never crossed their minds. Journalists generally are taught to question yet we are to believe CNN and others never thought to do that when using these military analysts. Just pathetic.
Thanks Glenn for the huge effort you've made on this issue. It's come to the point where the only real investigative journalism is coming from bloggers and those without internet access, working several jobs, whose only exposure to news is the TV will fail to realize how badly they have been mislead and lied to. But one person sharing with another will continue to make dents in the propaganda flowing from our media darlings.
