Pentagon Pundits Scandal: John Stauber debates Bob Zelnick

[brickandfanal]

I’m not sure that the US taxpayers would be happy to know that taxes on theirs hard earn money is spent to influence and deceive them so wastefully. Unless those brilliant military (Rumsfeld?) think that those US peasants are not smart enough to think by themselves.

[CherokeeApacheIrish]

What Bob Zelnick forgot to mention was the fact that the 1st gulf war was contrived and was prapagandized to the point of silliness also! So in fact he/Bob Zelnick was duped into believing what he was told as the reasons to attack Iraq in 1991 and the repeat came in 2003. No wonder the major media are losing viewership really fast! At least The New York Times is trying to get some truth out to the public, can't say the same for ABC,CBS,CNN,MSNBC,FOX

This needs to be on the first page of youtube!

[illist143]

ill guess 1997

[GretchenDawntreader]

LOL what didn't that one guy want to understand?

Rummy Memo: stress moon made of cheese, stay the course.

Gen. A (ret:) "My sources say the moon's nothing but cheese. We must stay the course to suceed as a nation."

Brig Gen. B (ret:) "In the loop everyone's talking the moon being cheese, I don't know what conclusions you draw but I'd stay the course."

Mjr Gen. C (ret:) "The CIA established a moon-cheese connection years ago. Staying the course is a given."

etc. etc.

[cwhig]

Bob Zelnick is a tool.

[italstal07]

Almost all of the MSM media are members of the CFR and work for the major networks including Judy Woodruff.

The CIA has at least one member working in every network newsroom to assure that they can kill any story that would damage the New World Order.

It is not just Iraq that the American people are being lied to about.

Not one network has reported about the North American Union to the American people except for Lou Dobbs.

We are now living in a fascist police state and tyranny.

[badfish301]

The CIA, Operation Mockingbird propaganda goes much deeper than most people realize.. take 9/11 for example.

[fjaneson]

No kidding. People have been screaming about this since day 0. It has to come from PBS

and through the TV before anyone will listen.

[gunslinger332]

Wake up is right.I spotted all the lies before when no one else did.Now they admit it and still no one cares.This is our fault as well people.Its our job to question our goverment.

[pitbrand]

I can't believe how Bob Zelnick acts like it should be acceptable that the analyst that were hired to report news to Americans are also defense contract lobbiest and ex-military and if their view about war should come into play well then shame on them. Shame on us the people of the United States for letting our administration attack a country to set them free. Shame on us for allowing a war on terror. It can never end...

[swedishfish2]

so many people lost their lives over this bullshit

[matthewcooke42]

be outraged.

[carbonout]

this is news ??????? i mean really , News to you not to me.

[Sashia48]

this is not a surprise to ANYONE who has been watching. Media exposure means they want to get their crimes out in the open, then whitewash them & move on to the next stage of fascism.

This is the tip of the iceberg. We "Conspiracy Theorists", the ones you've been laughing at ( ha ha ha), have been trying to sound the alarms, but NO. Go to Myspace, make friends w/ ANYONE who has Ron Paul as a friend. When you see the bulletins, you see the full magnitude. REPUBLICAN AND DEM. ARE COMPLICIT.

[neurogirl23]

yeah, they keep cutting it off at 3:18. Youtube sucks!

[sinverb]

DUDE!! I cannot watch this video, because it stops downloading midway. The Network knows this is poisonous video! This video is likely to be removed. make COPIES everyone!

[jaychins]

i feel grateful we have PBS.

[Felix1085]

All Ron Paul supporters have known for quite some time that the media was biased for the Neocons.

Wake up America!

[TheStallion3]

Any reasonably educated person has known this for quite sometime. It's not a new revelation.

[freedomman12]

Damn straight! WAKE UP!

[ATFGOONSQUAD08]

weed breaks propoganda brainwashing

[Buckman82]

Agreed

[infodoc1]

Thanks for posting this. It's time for Americans to unite and take back our government.

[Mulcahey]

To quote Immortal Technique, all the way back in 2003:

"The fourth branch of the government AKA the media

Seems to now have a retirement plan for ex-military officials

As if their opinion was at all unbiased

A machine shouldn't speak for men

So shut the fuck up you mindless drone!

[Doug52392]

Thanks a lot Fox News! From what I've seen in our screwed up media, Fox News are the worst when it comes to injecting right-wing political propaganda into newscasts! You know when your an evil TV network when someone makes an award winning documentary about you (OutFOXed: Robert Murdock's War On Journalism, which is aviable to watch online free)

[auburnmrj1]

Fox News is the "worst" at injecting right-wing propaganda because they're the only major right-leaning news outlet.

Too bad the Democrats don't have their own person promoting propaganda through news outlets...oh, like GEORGE SOROS.

[widgetbrain]

george soros has his own news network...?

[MadMikeFury]

If we must label Fox News "right" then I suppose all Media Outlets garner such a label. If that be the case, then I would say yes, Fox News is right leaning while NBC,ABC,PBS,MSNBC,CNN,NPR,News­week,TIME,The New York Times,The Boston Globe,Rolling Stone,U.S News, and all of Hollywood are left leaning.

[PlayerXT]

I guess you haven't watched any movies or used your TV remote lately.

[widgetbrain]

no.

[dennisthapa]

ABC leans to the right...go watch "road to 9/11" or recent Clinton/Obama "debate"

[Ghostrider616]

True history isn't right-win bias... It's history. Clinton didn't do much of anything at all against terrorism and in fact refused to take OBL into custody at least three times...

[auburnmrj1]

Damn CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC and CBS for their conservative bias!!!

You people really need to get a grip.

[charlesvan13]

This is such a non-story. The pentagon had the gal to try to get its side of the story out, gasp. I never would have guessed that a network milliary analyst would have a pro-millitary bias. That's why we were fooled into thinking that the Iraq war was going smoothly.

I'm not even a conservative. But why is it that when the right plays politics the left claims it's a crime. The "Plame affair" for example. But when the left plays politics, it's just politics.

[Au7punker]

usually, when you do something right/fair, you don't hide it from your public? Basically what bothers me about this is that I felt like all of the information i have received from the media regarding the iraq war was carefully scripted by the pentagon. I wish I could have known that before i based my opinions on that news.

[tsenzei]

The Pentagon should not be involved in politics.

[jclayton59466]

I'm shocked that youtube has not removed this yet.

[Au7punker]

why?

[shizzle5150]

pbs will receive a healthy portion of my paycheck. I am so glad that these few outlets had the nerve to stand up and bring this forward. John has it right, this is illegal, PERIOD! Do your part to get this video viewed as many times as you possibly can. Blog about it, tell your friends. America should be pissed and this story needs more attention. Thank You PBS! I guess it is still truly a public broadcasting system. The only voice of reason in a crowd that turns their back to america.

[Blue387]

I call for everyone watching this video right now to donate money to PBS.

[WindHarps]

According to Bob Zelnick, it's just "oh, gee - no big deal; this is common." Utterly ridiculous. The Covert Propaganda Operation was/is as blatantly clear as it gets.

[dejahthoris]

This needs to be on the first page of youtube!

[toyracers]

makes me sick to my stomach.... im donating to PBS right now!
