How the military analyst program controlled news coverage: in the Pentagon's own words

"We develop a core group from within our media analyst list of those that we can count on to carry our water. They become the key go to guys for the networks and it begins to weed out the less reliably friendly analysts by the networks themselves."
Glenn Greenwald

    Mona ...

    Christ on a crutch man, you and Rowan Berkeley just keep on with such ignorant ranting about libertarians, imputing to them evil (and largely wrong) beliefs, even after Glenn politely asked for all this nonsense to stop. So I won't engage either of you on your gross substantive errors since that would only fuel what Glenn is asking to have cease (as well as waste my time); but after a baseless screed about libertarians, for you to conclude about them with this:

    Charles Manson comes to mind.

    Is really exceptionally vile. -- -Mona-

    I agree, but I would point out they are funny! I have about 10 more pages to go but I do not think I'll ever see anything as funny as the idea that believe in the lack of the modern state would lead to Manson worship! Come on Mona, that was a hoot!

    The one fool made up a quote by me, but I am laughing so hard I really do not care.

    I'll say this, anyone who wants to make Glenn's blog look like only crazies and fools make comments here would do well to bookmark the rantings we saw late last night.
