Military-industrial complex controls the media

Nobody has written more eloquently and substantively than Glenn Greeenwald on the issue of retired generals and their conflicts of interest.  I have referenced a silimilar story last April and now we again have information, this time of General Barry McCaffrey's (shown at right) undisclosed interests while he touts Pentagon programs on network news shows.

If you read one thing today, read this article and the associated links, especially the NY Times article.

Brian Williams, NBC and the parent company General Electric-- one of the elite members of the military-industrial complex-- need to disclose the various business interests of their "advisers."
