Pentagon Knows Best

When it comes to the dissemination of domestic propaganda, it's pretty important to understand who the willing enablers (registration required) are, and what the law says. Make no mistake: the corporate media has willingly teamed up with the Pentagon to spread domestic propaganda--something that many legal scholars say is illegal.

While it may seem shocking to see this sort of propaganda actually being carried out in the U.S., events like this only reinforce what has become obvious to so many--that in many ways, the corporate media in the U.S. effectively functions like the state-controlled mouthpieces so frequently condemned by the U.S.

So, this is what the corporate media brings us. How many more events like this will we have to endure until we fully appreciate the degree of collusion between big media and the state? Or perhaps the deep financial interest that the corporate media has in this war?
