Rumsfeld Requests 24-hour Propaganda Machine

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the brainwashing-not-out-of-the-question dept.

jasonditz writes "The BBC is reporting that US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld is unhappy with the existing propaganda systems in place and insists that the US must create a 'more effective, 24-hour propaganda machine' or risk losing the battle for the minds of Muslims. In an era where we've already got government-created and funded media outlets and the Pentagon bribing Iraqi journalists to run favorable war stories, not to mention other departments paying journalists to endorse their positions, it begs the question, how much more can they possibly do?"

    When someone attacks the country I love, and know to be doing the correct thing...I will attack them personally. Because a baseless attack on my country is an attack on me.

    I stand behind my comments 100%. MOD me down to -5. I'm still proud of my POV!

    You don't get it. I'm not blogging to make friends or get people to "like" me. I blog to voice my opinion and/or point out factual information.

    If you read my posts, I'm anti-politically correct. In fact, I hate political correctness with a passion. PC is for cowards that are afraid of people not "liking" them.

    Fuck that. Just be who you are and let the rest stand on it's own. This is a blog, not a personality contest.
