[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] NPR has interviewed several newspapers that knew full well that the stories were propaganda- it was no big shock and they needed the money. It's not like the insurgents are buying ad space to keep them in business. Besides, these were "fluff" pieces that praised local Iraqi cooperation more than pointing fingers at any one person. Not that it's right. In fact, it's illeagal for the military to plant such stories in US papers- or even in US protectorates. What's funny is that just two days before this story broke, Rumsfeld pointed to Iraq's press and an example of what a a free press [i]should[/i] be. Makes me wonder how many "stay the course" stories from soldiers overseas are total bullshit. Does anyone attempt to verify [i]those[/i]? [/QB][/QUOTE]
