Pentagon's Pundits: A Look at the Defense Department's Propaganda Program

The New York Times has revealed new details on how the Pentagon recruited more than seventy-five retired military officers to appear on TV outlets as so-called military analysts ahead of the Iraq war to portray Iraq as an urgent threat. The Times reported the Pentagon continues to use the analysts in a propaganda campaign to generate favorable news coverage of the administration's wartime performance. We speak with Col. Sam Gardiner (Ret.) and Peter Hart of Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting.

@achzdck Every time throughout economic recession during U.S. history, people turn and blame the immigrants.

These illegal immigrants have: No homes, no food for there families, and no prospects of future. America has always welcomed these types of people as a beacon of hope. To say that a group of unrepresented, marginalized, and hard-working people trying to feed their families are what is hurting America rather than the idiots in Washington and because of our own neglect, is just ignorant.
