Another Day In Paradise
Greenwald does a detailed analysis of the brazen manipulation of the media by the Pentagon’s military analysts and concludes:
But what is most extraordinary about all of this is that huge numbers of Americas who were subjected to this propaganda by their own Government still don’t know that they were, because the television networks which broadcast it to them refuse to tell them about it, opting instead to suppress the story and stonewall any efforts to find out what happened. As corrupt as the Pentagon was here, our nation’s major media outlets were at least just as bad. Their collective Pravda-like suppression now of the entire story — behavior so blatantly corrupt that even the likes of Howie Kurtz and The Politico are strongly condemning them — has become the most significant and revealing aspect of the entire scandal.
If we’re relying on Kurtz and the Politico as our stand-up guys, this really is being stuffed down the memory hole. Give the article a quick skim just to confirm that, yes, that “analysis” was complete fiction.
