Maintaining Bush's Propaganda Program?
Under George W. Bush, the Pentagon used retired military analysts to produce positive wartime news coverage. The story was broken by the New York Times, and reporter David Barstow won a Pulitzer for his work.
Brad Jacobson, investigative journalist with The Raw Story, has discovered that a key figure in that Bush administration program remains in the same position, as deputy assistant secretary of defense for media operations, under Obama. Jacobson found his name in over 500 emails and transcripts, and has written a series of stories that uncovered evidence "that directly exposes this stealth media project and the activities of its participants as matching the US government’s own definition of psychological operations, or PSYOPS."
Jacobson joins us in the studio to discuss his reporting and the way the Obama administration has continued certain Bush policies.
the American people are lied to, and things are misrepresented far too often.
however, as of almost ten months of the Obama Presidency, little seems to have changed, what ever. now, one must recognize good sounding logic Vs. Good sound logic. we did hope for change we could count on. instead, as of this date, we are to remain waiting for that change !
