Pentagon openly creates propaganda channel
If you thought Fox News was biased, then please welcome the new proganda channel thats spreading through American cable networks: The Pentagon Channel. All the news you want, unfiltered by anyone other than the military who always tell you what you need to know.

The anchors and reporters wear uniforms instead of neckties and suits, and the commercials promote the military, not laundry soap and cutlery sets. But otherwise, the Pentagon Channel - which is on the cusp of its first anniversary - looks and sounds a lot like CNN and C-SPAN. . . What makes the Pentagon Channel different is that the public is getting a look at it through cable systems, ostensibly so reservists and military families can watch it more easily. The channel, which was launched last May, is broadcast at many military bases and on public cable in major cities. It also streams live on the Internet. There are no numbers on how many civilians may watch. (Link)
