related to my post yesterday on o'hanlon and pollack, think progress offers us this...
anyone who has any doubts whatsoever that we are being propagandized by our major media outlets only need look at the pervasiveness of these two in such a condensed period of time… for one thing, you KNOW that number of appearances HAD to be both scheduled AND coordinated WELL IN ADVANCE, and that two guys that have neither the big names nor the position power to command such a slice of media time simply could NOT have done it all by themselves... when are we going to wake up...?

Pollack and O’Hanlon have leapt into the open arms of the mainstream media and have been given a forum to present their views largely without opposition. Together, they appeared on at least nine major mainstream media outlets in the past 24 hours.
A list of their media appearances:
Network Program Pollack CBS Evening News CNN Newsroom CNN Situation Room MSNBC Tucker NPR Talk of the Nation O’Hanlon CBS Early Show CBS Evening News Fox News Special Report MSNBC Hardball
