Pentagon Propaganda Documents Now Online

From prwatch.org
Don't hold your breath for the happily complicite corporate "News" networks to report on this

----
Eight thousand pages of documents related to the Pentagon's illegal propaganda campaign, known as the Pentagon military analyst program, are now online for the world to see, although in a format that makes it impossible to easily search them and therefore difficult to read and dissect. This trove includes the documents pried out of the Pentagon by David Barstow and used as the basis for his stunning investigation that appeared in the New York Times on April 20, 2008.
The Pentagon program, which clearly violated US law against covert government propaganda, embedded more than 75 retired military officers -- most of them with financial ties to war contractors -- into the TV networks as "message surrogates" for the Bush Administration. To date, every major commercial TV network has failed to report this story, covering up their complicity and keeping the existence of this scandal from their audiences.

New York Times | White House Stenographers

Along with their Neo-con "Iraq Panels" they're still(like those during Bushco's run-up to the war on Iraq) running White House articles on their front pages. Here's Glenn Greenwald:

"..The administration has no better ally in disseminating its war-provoking accusations than Michael Gordon and his NYT Editors, for whom "reporting" consists of repeating whatever Bush officials say -- no matter how significant or dubious -- and to do so without challenge and while baselessly granting them anonymity to make their provocative accusations without accountability.."
Shocking? No more so than CNN(Conservative News Network) hiring more Bush Trolls for their corporate Faux-Lite "News" channel.
