Excellent points. I will add:
Politicians live and die by the MSM, there is no way they are going to let the military start a war with the MSM.
Journalism is a liberal art. Liberal being the key word.
I don't get to see it, but perhaps that military channel was an attempt?
I agree about the internet.
I also agree about changing the way people think. The problem is there are just as many bad blogs as good ones. There are thousands that spew the same crap as the MSM - even worse.
And there is a ton of people that simply do not understand the way the world works. The internet has given voice to people that have never left their mom's basement - and yet are somehow experts on geopolitical and military affairs.
I was in a discussion yesterday with a guy that thought that OIF now lasting as long as WWII was some kind of milestone.
The only thing I can see to do is keep hammering away with facts.
