Pentagon's Illegal Propagandists made 4,500 Appearances
Your tax dollars are being spent so the criminals working at the Pentagon can lie to you more smoothly.
Pentagon 'Media Analysts' Appeared on Major Networks or were quoted more that 4500 times.

n April, The New York Times broke a story about the Pentagon's media analyst program. The program used retired military "media analysts" to appear on television programs as experts. The program came under intense scrutiny and the Pentagon decided to "suspend" it about a week after The New York Times article appeared.
HuffPost's Jason Linkins noted at the time that neither The New York Times or any other major media network had done little to advance the story.
Media Matters reports today that the analysts program was much more far reaching than reported in the Times.
A Media Matters review found that since January 1, 2002, the analysts named in the Times article -- many identified as having ties to the defense industry --
collectively appeared or were quoted as experts more than 4,500 times on ABC, ABC News Now, CBS, CBS Radio Network, NBC, CNN, CNN Headline News, Fox News, MSNBC, CNBC, and NPR.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/05/13/pentagon-media-analysts-a_n_101521.html
A gale force blizzard of LIES.
Every Single Major Corporate Media Outlet was a party to this,
then compounding their crime they don't even come clean with some kind of follow up about it.
What a bunch of criminals.
Only the PBS News Hour did any kind of follow up on it.
