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

    Jebbie

    As for the Pentagon and its illegal propaganda mill, that story isn't dead at all. As a matter of fact, it's just being born.

    He's just confusing the birth pangs with one of his run of the mill gas attacks. It's never pretty.

    GC - it's raining cats and dogs here and everything is greengreengreen! I am waiting for a break in the downpour so I can pick a bunch of lilacs for my 95-y-o grandmother for Mother's Day. Flowers stay fresh longer if you cut them in the rain. I wonder if hunting morels in the rain makes them tastier?
