I'm quite cynic when it comes to politics; Machiavel is the great one here. So whattever happens, I'd hardly be surprised. But sometimes something "funny" comes out (leftish or rightish, depending), and this time it looks like the right meets the old left (Red Ones) with State medias.
But the most interesting in this context: From an anti-terror perspective, is using information legitimate as any other tools? This is true in the US, but also anywhere else (other places are also affected by war).
The Bush administration has shown a willingness to do just about anything to manipulate public opinion. It paid pundits to say nice things about it. It spent lavishly to create bogus -- and, according to the comptroller general, illegal -- video news reports on the president’s Medicare, education, and drug policies. And it has given us Gannon/Guckert-gate.
Now the Bushies are taking things to the next level. Not content to buy their press coverage retail, they are producing and distributing their own news network. And, no, I’m not talking about Fox. It’s the Pentagon Channel, a 24/7 niche network brought to you by the Department of Defense.
