POPSParis To "White-Haired Dude" --- "What Ever" Most astonishing of all, Big Media (the broadcast and cable networks, The Associated Press and major newspapers) continue their near-total blackout of reporting on a story that broke in the National Enquirer on July 22, well before we went on vacation -- where the tabloid's reporters and a photographer staked out a Los Angeles hotel where former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards allegedly visited his rumored mistress. You can read or hear all about it in the British press, online bloggers, Internet Web sites (including the Huffington Post and most exhaustively on Mickey Kaus' blog), the usual right-wing radio suspects. Even late night comics like Jay Leno are starting to joke about it. But don't expect a word of it to pass the lips of Brian Williams, Charlie Gibson or Katie Couric.

POPSWelcome To The Machine To date, every major commercial TV network has failed to report this story, covering up their complicity and keeping the existence of this scandal from their audiences. More than two weeks after the New York Times reported on the Penatgon's military analyst program to sell controversial policies such as the invasion of Iraq, the broadcast television news outlets implicated in the program are hoping to tough out the scandal by refusing to report it. Recently Media Matters of America (MMA) reported that, according to a search of the Nexis database, "the three major broadcast networks -- ABC, CBS, and NBC -- have still not mentioned the report at all." Congresswoman Rosa L. DeLauro and three dozen colleagues have sent a letter to the Department of Defense Inspector General calling for an investigation of this "propaganda campaign aimed at deliberately misleading the American public."

POPSActivism Update: TV News Blackout on Pentagon Pundits
Lie, stonewall and bury--the first thing the Pentagon does when caught doing the nasty things they do to us. "The media organizations most implicated in facilitating the Pentagon's propaganda program have been far less responsive. The networks and cable outlets refused a request to address the issue on PBS; as the NewsHour's Judy Woodruff stated (4/24/08), "We invited Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC and NBC to participate, but they declined our offer or did not respond." The cable and broadcast networks have yet to respond to FAIR's request that they change their practices to ensure that their audience will never again get official talking points passed off as independent analysis. Only NPR (NPR.org, 4/28/08) has publicly stated that they have new policies in place to ensure more careful vetting of analysts. Fox has continued to feature the commentary of retired Gen. Robert H. Scales (Special Report With Brit Hume, 4/21/08, 4/23/08), whom the New York Times documented to be a par
