It’s a story of covert propaganda, secretly advancing business interests and helping lead the United States into war. It’s got serious implications for our media system and our democracy. So why isn’t it getting more attention?
In April 2008, Pulitzer prize-winning New York Times reporter David Barstow exposed a secret Pentagon program, to recruit […]
