My thanks to Glenn for his repeated emphasis on this topic.
The co-incidence of major news producer and major military and defense / industrial contractor interests has been an awful, awful tendency for this nation since at least the Reagan administration.
Before that, sure, the major news corporations identified strongly with their military / defense corporate class colleagues through sheer class solidarity and standard hawkish predilection, but the direct inter-weaving of their interests (anyone remember the utterly false hyping of the "Patriot" missile, to boost its production and sales in Gulf War 1?) has lowered a previously low standard into the cellar.
