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

    Retired Military Patriot. ref bucky1, ach, Jkalos, et., kitty.

    I be fun to join the military. Instead of blood soaked poker chips on the table to gamble away for pay...

    I'd suggest we use M&M candy pieces, over ripe country orange pumpkins, water melons, butter pop-corn, and dented tin cans of Pop-Eye spinach. Wow.

    We can run for high office? Look at everybody and wave hi "kids".

    Maybe to condescend @ all and to wave with a smug grin? The Tao.

    The new way?

    And blogging? Oh Lard!

    We can pinch the jackpot winner and kiss all who enter to read...swell...

    Then the face gets Rubeola and Chicken Pox. Wow. Itchy. No "touchy"...

    We can scream at the rest of the human race, and act superior. f.l.o.p....

    A country pumpkin? A blogger can seem the same a rotten pumpkin?

    Yes. Big and round. Thump it with the mid-finger. It is unripe. Rotten.

    Wait another few weeks to plant Jack-0-Lanterns, Jkalos. It too early

    *Do you know how I love you? I best read the comments and hush.
