The press is manipulated by the Pentagon -- and they *like it*

Wow, I thought it was bad enough that the press was secretly manipulated by the Pentagon and indirectly (constantly?) by this Administration. It's much worse than that. Not only is the press not angry, or not fighting back, they are trying to whitewash their complicity -- virtually guaranteeing that this will continue because they are too afraid (I guess) to even stand up for themselves -- 0r too interested in the money train. Wow -- it appears that the press has silenced itself. They've turned into willing puppets of the Executive Branch and their advertisers.

What happened to the Fourth Estate? Oh that's right, we allowed it to become a profit center for ever larger media conglomerates who not only don't care about the public, they don't care about the news! That is, unless they're trying to shovel their own personal agendas upon us and make us think that it's news (think Faux News). No wonder people don't watch TV anymore and are turning to the Internet. It's our last hope of knowing what's really going on.
