Military General propaganda story: "unspoken threats"

KURTZ: Do you think it was a conflict of interest of some of your fellow former officers to be in that kind of a...

ALLARD: I absolutely do, because the reason why you're there is to offer the public, for whatever the reason you have, however good you are, whatever your opinion matters, is an honest opinion. You offer that without any hope of remuneration, without any hope of reward. That's basically -- the reward you're getting is what CNN, Fox or NBC News pays you to be there. That's it.

KURTZ: Fox analyst Tim Eads was quoting as saying that when he talked about the war or terrorism on television, he held his tongue for fear that "... some four-star could call up and say, 'Kill that contract.'" He was involved in military contracts.

Was that an unspoken threat?
KURTZ: I talked to retired Colonel Bill Cowan, who was a Fox military analyst. He said that three years ago, after he criticized the war effort on "The O'Reilly Factor," he was booted off the group, was never invited to another briefing, never got another telephone call, never got another e-mail.

Sorry people. Although this scandle is more proof that our government is truelly corrupt and out of control, it's boring to most people. Where's the blow job? That's all the average idiot cares to hear about. They don't care (or can't comprehend) the significance of this. American Idol is on, there are busy.

Self apologists.

How long before we start calling CNN FOX Junior?

This story is such a crock.

The American public has been heavily propagandized for years now and it is unlawful.

We are not free anymore. We are indentured servants, trying to pay our credit cards to prevent homelessness and starvation at the whim of our creditors. We are captured and oppressed by a tyrant that uses TV to control the drones.

Will someone arrest these criminals already? I guess "rule of law" only applies when your *cough* *cough* "elected" leadership lies about getting a BJ. War is a racket!
