Propaganda

the New York Times is once again transcribing propaganda from the administration that lied us into war. Commander Jeff Huber analyzes the Michael Gordon article here.

Michael R. Gordon of the New York Times is once again at the center of a mainstream media story that appears designed to get the Bush administration's message out. On Tuesday, Gordon and co-author John F. Burns gave us the low down on the latest accusations about Iran's involvement in Iraq in "U.S. Says Iran Helped Iraqis Kill Five G.I.’s."

Michael Gordon is perhaps best known these days as Judith Miller's partner in crime in spreading pro-invasion propaganda through the New York Times. He wrote articles in which "officials" argued the need for the surge in Iraq, and has also written numerous articles that echo the administration's case against Iran.

And Glenn Greenwald chimes in as well.

and then we have crazy Joe Lieberman adding to the onslaught.
