pro ce .. yes . that's all understood .. are you suggesting now those who profit most from war are
responsible for keeping Khamenei's position off the front of the newspapers? Was it Gen. Dempsey
who has spoken out against the war? The manufacturer's et al you must be talking about.

Are you saying they have that much influence on newspaper owners and
editors? That sounds to me what you are suggesting now. If so, surely not.

In 2009, The New York Times‘ David Barstow won the Pulitzer Prize for his two [ http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/20/us/20generals.html ]-part [ http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/30/washington/30general.html?pagewanted=all ] series on the use by television networks of retired Generals posing as objective “analysts” at exactly the same time they were participating — unbeknownst to viewers — in a Pentagon propaganda program. Many were also plagued by undisclosed conflicts of interest whereby they had financial stakes in many of the policies they were pushing on-air. One of the prime offenders was Gen.
