U.S. Occupation Launches Media Offensive
Yahoo! News - U.S. Occupation Launches Media Offensive:
"In what one Pentagon official called going on the offensive, military public affairs officers also began last week flooding reporters in Washington and Baghdad with press releases on everything from commando raids and weapons seizures to the capture of Iraqi insurgents and reconstruction efforts. "
Press releases on commando raids? Orwel much? Please pass me a bucket I think I'm gonna vomit. How much of this propogandized euphistic bullshit will be printed nearly verbatim by our "puppy dog" press? Lots.
"Additionally, they are planning a new 24-hour satellite television station to offer more government-produced programming of briefings, military activities and other events in Iraq (news - web sites), defense officials said."
Hmm, encourage democracy with state run media... yeeeeeah. Garanteed it will be absurd and make us more alienated and hated. This shit will be available in the US too, I presume-- oh wait we have already Faux News.
