Well, we can certainly hope that this article will not just be a one-time deal, with the corporate media getting back in lockstep with the Pentagon Monday morning. They have lost all credibility now even with much of their own staff, and certainly with a large proportion of the American public.
It will also be interesting to see if there is any reaction from Congress in terms of investigating the links between military contractors and media outlets. My guess is, based on their past performance, that they won't touch it.
One thing you will never hear from the corporate controlled news media is the fact that they have been scooped time and time again for the last five or six years by liberal blogs and websites such as OpEdNews.com.

Thanks for bringing the NY Times article to our attention. It's a sad state of affairs, but in retrospect we might have foreseen this insidious military/media setup. U.S. commanders after Vietnam were not stupid people - it makes sense that powerful minds would have ponderered the problem of muting public dissent, which is the force that ultimately pulled us out of Vietnam. Here is the result.
