Tell Congress:

Investigate the Propaganda Pundits






Finally, real proof…….Embedded functionaries caught manipulating the media, truth exposed......
The New York Times has exposed a secret Pentagon campaign to infiltrate the media with pro-war propaganda.
The scheme reaches all the way to the Bush White House, where top officials recruited dozens of "military analysts" to spread favorable views of the war via the news. Many of these propaganda pundits didn't reveal that they were working from Pentagon scripts or lobbying for companies seeking to cash in on major military contracts.
This is a violation of every conceivable standard of journalism -- and possibly of federal law.

Send a letter to Congress and demand better media. Use the text below or write your own.

Subject:
Investigate the Propaganda Pundits

Dear [Decision Maker],

Please personalize your message
The New York Times has exposed a quiet Pentagon campaign to infiltrate the media with pro-war propaganda. According to the newspaper, top officials recruited dozens of "military analysts" to spread favorable views of the war via major news media. Many of these pundits were working from Pentagon scripts while also lobbying for major military contractors looking to cash in on the war.

I urge Congress to investigate these military pundits and their ties to the Bush administration, defense contractors and our national news media.

This is not a partisan issue. An administration secretly forcing favorable views via the press is a violation of every conceivable standard of journalism -- and possibly of federal law.

Please take action to determine whether these acts violate federal law prohibiting "covert propaganda."

Thank you,

*boycott news networks that spread propaganda, ie. turn of the living room psychological operation. Resist media manipulation, think independently.



Keep fighting the good fight, with your minds as weapons!!
