DISH Network: Pentagon Propaganda Channel is not in Public Interest
Contributed by Working Assets

DISH Network has just announced that under the guise of public interest programming it is adding to its broadcast lineup a 24/7 channel produced by theU.S. Department of Defense that previously was aimed only at U.S. military personnel.Under U.S. law, the federal government is banned from producing propaganda aimed at influencing the American people. Despite this ban, the television channel which is one hundred percent controlled by the Pentagon, will beam highly produced daily news programs promoting the interests of the Pentagon and paid for by U.S. tax payers into millions of American homes.Let us not forget that the Pentagon insistently and consistently lied to theAmerican people about the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. As a result of this "successful" military public relations campaign, we are now bogged down in a ferociously expensive and increasingly deadly occupation that fans the flames of terrorism in the Middle East.
The government-run TV service will be channeled to the public through EchoStar Communication's Dish Network which will offer the Pentagon Channel to its more than 11 million viewers on a no-cost basis. Programming will appear on the network's public interest channels and will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1339461/posts
