By Faiz at 5:19 pm Kurtz: Media won’t cover Pentagon propaganda ‘because they are embarrassed.’»
In a washingtonpost.com online chat today, the Post’s media critic Howard Kurtz was asked why the television news media have largely failed to report on the Pentagon propaganda operation revealed recently by the New York Times. Kurtz said the media is too embarrassed to report the story:

Toronto: Hi Howard — kudos for last Sunday’s focus on the New York Times’s Pentagon propaganda story. Why do you think the networks still are silent on this? The comments on Brian Williams’s blog are at a boiling point — I’m surprised NBC hasn’t shut it down yet!

Howard Kurtz: I can only conclude that the networks are staying away from what would otherwise be a legitimate news story because they are embarrassed about what some of their military analysts did or don’t want to give the controversy more prominence.

Later in the same online chat, Kurtz said, “The networks are ducking this one, big time.”

Kurtz is pushing a line of bull. Caught with its pants down, the media acts as if it didn't know what was up all along.

6. It's a miracle any of them have the nerve to show their faces every day.

It's time they realized we know what scum they are. How best to get the message through to them?

They have no reputation left to restore. They all need to leave. They have offended their fellow human beings by lying to us even as we turned to them for the truth about our only world. It's an unforgiveable offense.

They betrayed us. They've shown their true colors. We've got their numbers. They are congenital liars. They have been impudent enough to think there's nothing we can do about it. Are they right?

They'd all better hope they don't forget and try to walk across the street in any town where people might recognize them!
