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

    "A Thesis : all 'Libertarians' are secret McCain supporters"

    A Thesis: All "Liberals" are secret members of the Communist Party USA, treasonous, and godless haters of all that is good and true.

    Now, do these "theses" advance any intelligent discussion here? (Altho I must say I've wanted to ask Pedinska about painting her toenails pink, because I find it very difficult to keep the colors matching when my toes peek from sandals in summer, and the hue-of-the-week on my finger-nails clashes. These are also urgent matters.)
