"US Strategic Command uses social media and web tools to inform the public about its missions, people and activities. We routinely repurpose stories of interest via social media that contain factual and accurate information about the command and its missile sets. Our policy is that we do not endorse, nor discriminate against, any particular news organization."
There is no doubt that the purpose of Strategic Command's Twitter page is to speak to a very specific audience. Military contractors and members of Congress on appropriation sub-committees. It's about getting their sugar funded -- and that's why they linked Breitbart. I would bet any article that specifically recommends spending on their stuff gets considered...and maybe it was an arranged quid pro quo. We'll write about this and you tweet it so Congress knows there's "buzz" about the need for funding. Maybe that's even what Bannon is doing in his spare time.
