Kurtz: Media won’t cover
Pentagon propaganda ‘because they are embarrassed.’

In a washingtonpost.com online chat today, the Post’s
media critic Howard Kurtz was asked why the television news
media have largely failed to report on the Pentagon propaganda
operation revealed recently by the New York Times. Kurtz said
the media is too embarrassed to report the story:
Toronto: Hi Howard — kudos for last Sunday’s
focus on the New York Times’s Pentagon propaganda story.
Why do you think the networks still are silent on this? The
comments on Brian Williams’s blog are at a boiling point
— I’m surprised NBC hasn’t shut it down
yet!
Howard Kurtz: I can only conclude that the networks are staying
away from what would otherwise be a legitimate news story because
they are embarrassed about what some of their military analysts
did or don’t want to give the controversy more prominence.
Later in the same online chat, Kurtz said, “The networks
are ducking this one, big time.”
