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."

    ah...duke46, what took you so long?

    First letter March 2008. I wondered how long it would be.

    Duke is dangerously close to the other Welch Club. The Birchers.

    Lay down with dogs and you are likely to get up with fleas.

    JNagyarassoff...The media is NOT INTENDED to be "loyal" to the gov't, or even to the military. It is INTENDED to be loyal to the FACTS AND TRUTH.

    Wonderful sentiment. Where is it written? Don't tell me it's in another part of the constitution I must have missed. Like the one that says the 2nd amendment is a collective right.

    What I like about J here is that he's the scary reverse of the conservative "judicial activist" whiners. If this court rules the 2nd affirms an individual right, he'll be screaming, "Judicial activists!" "Black robed demons!" "Legislating, nay amending, rewriting the constitution from the bench!"
