Pentagon Propaganda Conspiracy in Iraq?!

In the book ENDGAME: The Blueprint for Victory in the War on Terror, by Generals McInerney and Vallely, Oliver North states main stream news media coverage of the peace effort in Iraq is largely negative and misleading. If anything I've read in the book is even close to the truth, I'd have to agree... News media wasted no time jumping right on the Pentagon conspiracy to plant propaganda in the Iraqi media as if it doesn't get paid on a daily basis to do exactly the same kind of thing as Capitalism's public voice right here in the heart of America. Main stream media utilizes the basest attributes of humanity in its 'news' reporting and 'entertainment' programming because that's all its limited focus can handle. The bottom line is its main concern--not Freedom, not Truth--money!

Really?~ You mean like Oliver North's program and G. Gordon Liddy's program and Rush Limbaugh's program and Michael Savitch's program?

Better keep reading. Read more books, research all of your sources, learn more about their political leanings, learn more about what else they have written, learn more about the causes they have supported in the past. Research and understand the people you quote before you quote them.

The obvious is always obvious; and, nothing is ever as it appears.

Ah, There's The Rub...

That's a pretty big if, don't you think?
Especially as some of it's coming from a guy who went
to prison for shredding documents to cover up the
Iran-Contra affair.
