It is now official: "military analyst" = "Pentagon propagandist"
A lengthy story in the New York Times (http://tinyurl.com/6qhgfg
)
reveals that many so-called "military analysts" have actually been
working on behalf of the Pentagon to sell the War on Iraqis and the
Guantánamo Gulag to the American people.
While pretending to act as independent analysts, these former career
military officers have instead simply followed the Pentagon's own
"talking points".
In addition to their government ties, most of these "analysts" also work
for military contractors and thus have a personal financial stake in the
policies that they support as "analysts".
Media outlets that employed these "analysts" include FOX News, NBC, CNN,
CBS, ABC, NPR, the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Times itself.
Damn that Biased Liberal Media!
