This past Sunday The New York Times published an explosive report exposing the Pentagon’s secret campaign to use analysts in order to “generate favorable news coverage of the administration’s wartime performance.” Since that time, TV news organizations have largely been silent on their role in the propaganda.

What possesses otherwise “normal” people to do such things? And still they stymie efforts to identify their deeds. These are truly extreme idiots…
