That could also read "U.S. military secretly pays American newspapers for running stories trumpeting U.S. mission".
Or folks on message boards.

Hey, didn't Hitler launch a similar offensive through the media available at the time? I thought that was called propaganda?
Don't democratic nations curse propaganda?
Not if it's done to further one's own goals.
And actually, Napoleon did it, too.
Good if furthering one's own goals, but bad if it is someone else furthering their own goals?
I get it.
Thats like putting a bandaid on a shootgun wound. I'd like to see the footage of the idiots we pay to sit around and come up with this crap.
"Iraq has a free press..."
just like we have The New York Times (Judith Miller). (and Bill O'really)
