CAUGHT: Pentagon pundits on TV news

“The usual division line between government and journalism has been obliterated.” It is a sad day when, as a media consumer, I realize I have been fed pro-war propaganda by retired military analysts working not only for news stations such as FOX, CNN, and CBS, but the Defense Department! I feel like I am running out of places to receive non-biased, objective news, especially news pertaining to critical national and international relations. It was one of SecDef Rumsfeld's military analysts on FOX News who said Iraq was just a battleground in the bigger 50 year war, and Iraq will eventually lead us to Iran. If it was not for the NYTimes recently suing the Defense Department to gain access to 8,000 pages of emails, transcripts, and records, including those documenting Pentagon-sponsored trips to Iraq and Guantanamo, this "symbiotic relationship" between retired military analysts who serve as puppets to the D. Dept., and Rumsfeld and the Department, itself, would never have been revealed.
