Dan Rather Confesses: "Fear of Challenging the Administrations Lies is present in EVERY Newsroom!!

This fear to which Dan Rather refers, is certainly familiar to every honest reporter. According to John Pilger, the public does not deserve to see or hear the truth: According to Pilger, we journalists have to be brave enough to defy those who seek our collusion in selling the story. Facts don't matter any more. The Pentagon contracts with news organizations to keep any unwelcome facts away from the watchful eye of a nervous public. If you click on my headline, you will be able to see for yourself how rotten our government has already become. The journalist who were "imbedded" with our Armed Forces during our ruthless invasion of Iraq, were at the mercy of the local Army commander, and reported only disgusting pablum to their audience. Even if they had dared to tell the truth about our invasion, Army censors would have made certain that nothing which might be considered "offensive" to out politicians and their handlers, would get into our nation's airwaves. A long time ago, while I served as the Intelligence Operations Officer of our 4th US Armored Division in Goeppingen, we made fun of the censorship imposed by our Soviet Enemy. Now, we have actually BECOME that enemy.
