Did the Dept. of Defense Break FCC Rules By Letting Military Analysts Spread Their Seed on TV?

The mainstream media may have gone out of their way to ignore the New York Times' blockbuster article exposing biased military analysts being used by cable news and newspaper op-ed pages, but at least two House reps wants answers. From the FCC.

House Telecommunications & Internet Subcommittee Chairman John Dingell (D-Mich.) and Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) are asking FCC chairman Kevin Martin to investigate whether the military analysts violated sponsorship identification rules that are part of the Communications Act of 1934.

“When seemingly objective television commentators are in fact highly motivated to promote the agenda of a government agency, a gross violation of the public trust occurs," the legislators said. "The American people should never be subject to a covert propaganda campaign but rather should be clearly notified of who is sponsoring what they are watching."

Dingel and DeLauro's letter follows.

I really hope the FCC does something. And it involves jail for the "military experts."
