Free Press?

≡ Category: Politics |

I heard about this on Marketplace and All Things Considered on the way home tonight. The original article is from the LA Times and the NY Times is carrying it as well. Apparently, the Pentagon is using contractors like Lincoln Group to pay Iraqi newspapers to publish positive stories that the Pentagon has written about the Iraq conflict.

Un-freaking-believeable.
