Attack on White House Propaganda

摘要

There is growing momentum in Washing-ton for a crackdown on govemment-is-sued information. Because of a small addition to a bill that passed the House of Representatives, the inspector gen- eral of the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Government Ac- countability Office (GAO) may be joining the FCC in investigating the Bush administration's "embedded analyst" program. On April 20, The New York Times reported that the Pentagon regular-ly brought in retired military officers who as media analysts could relay government viewpoints about the war in Iraq on news programs.
