Yesterday the New York Times carried an in-depth, documented report on a propaganda war that has been waged against the American people

the Pentagon has been sending out a cadre of military analysts to blanket the airways with "favorable news coverage of the administration’s wartime performance."

They are the retired military officers that appear on every network and cable news show as paid analysts to explain the intricacies of war to us

what we weren't told was that they have also been working for the White House, the State Department and the Justice Department, receiving briefings from high level government officials, including Dick Cheney, before heading to the T.V. studio to offer their "personal opinion"

And what's worse, these "experts" not only regularly receive their talking points from the administration, they also represent:

...more than 150 military contractors either as lobbyists, senior executives, board members or consultants.


It is nothing less than propaganda for profit
