Congress to Investigate Propaganda Charge
By Jay Allbritton - Politics DailyIn April, The New York Times reported that the pentagon used retired military officers, so called "message force multipliers," to generate positive news coverage by echoing Bush administration positions on Iraq and Afghanistan.

Hunter was and is a conservative through and through and hit all ...

I spoke briefly with Hunter's spokesman Bob Bevill, who said the candidate spent most of his time in recent weeks dispelling rumors that his campaign was already toast. The loss in the Silver State today was the nail in the coffin. "The media has a 'vote someone off the island' mentality and Duncan Hunter was a casualty of that," Bevill said. ...
