The Propaganda War Machine

Here is a story by a Pulitzer Prize winner that no one heard about and not a single news station reported on.

This man, David Barstow, won a Pulitzer for Investigative Journalism. He investigated the relationship between the "military analysts" of all the news stations (ABC, NBC, FOX, CNN).

He "revealed how some retired generals, working as radio and television analysts, had been co-opted by the Pentagon to make its case for the war in Iraq, and how many of them also had undisclosed ties to companies that benefited from policies they defended." Quoted from the New York Times.

This isn't about partisanship. Both parties are on the block for this.
