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

    Glenn; GC; sysprog; LWM

    Thanks for the info re: Di Rita & Shaheen.

    Glenn - his lies about Gitmo, torture & Koran desecration might also be worth revisiting at some stage...

    sysprog - DoH! You wouldn't believe how much better my Googling has gone with their names spelled correctly! Thanks for your generosity in characterizing my misspellings as routine "variants". I suspect that's kinder than true. Here I was imagining them whisked away to a secure location, when their only cloak of invisibility was from my shoddy typing!
