Quote of the day week
From an article in today’s Times about the U.S. military paying shitloads of money to some Washington scumbags to buy positive coverage in the Iraqi press:
“The State Department is working with journalists in Iraq to help them develop the skills that you all have in terms of reporting and journalistic ethics and practices,” the State Department spokesman, Sean McCormack, told reporters on Thursday.
“That’s important,” the department spokesman said. “This is a country where free media didn’t exist for decades, so they are learning. We think it’s important to assist them in that.”
