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

@ L.W.M.

[Arne]: You should note that Glenn has requested that such [discussing libertarianism] not be done.

I think he wanted the silly tit for tat and namecalling to stop. Adult discussion of any subject is usually not something he discourages.

It ends up being the same thing. The libertarian crowd (and he shall go nameless) has a bug up his butt concerning certain people (both of whom shall also go nameless), and any time the subject comes up, he has to put in a dig or two at others and it devolves into page after page of the latter. This happens because certain people are convinced that they have the right to respond ... or that they have the right to speak last. But politeness and economy dictate otherwise.

Cheers,
