Cheney Orders Corporate Media To Sell Iran Attack

Buried in the New Yorker and yet uncovered by Paul Joseph Watson is an item by George Packer about "instructions" handed-down from on-high by Cheney's office -- call it Neocon Central -- to sell the attack of Iran to the American people. Packer quotes Barnett Rubin, described as having "connections to someone at a neoconservative institution in Washington," and this institution, likely the American Enterprise Institute, has instructed the complaisant corporate media to sell the attack.

"They [the source's institution] have "instructions" from the Office of the Vice-President to roll out a campaign for war with Iran in the week after Labor Day," Packer quotes Rubin, "it will be coordinated with the American Enterprise Institute, the Wall Street Journal, the Weekly Standard, Commentary, Fox, and the usual suspects. It will be heavy sustained assault on the airwaves, designed to knock public sentiment into a position from which a war can be maintained. Evidently they don't think they'll ever get majority support for this -- they want something like 35-40 percent support, which in their book is "plenty"...

[rightinthemiddle]

Why? He has a machine that does it.

[elhombrelibre]

That ought to do the trick. Just get the usual suspects to sell the war and it’s bought. What a bunch of morons.

[toddlintown]

NeoCon Central? Is that where they keep the Weather Machine too?

the sales job will be easy, as around 20 percent of the public consists of neocon sock puppets and another 15 to 20 percent—plugged into the electronic corporate Borg hive—will be swayed effortlessly enough, as millions were swayed by lies and cheap tricks in the lead-up to the mass murder campaign directed against Iraq.

Is the nickname "neocon sock puppet" already taken? Sounds like a good one to have.

[Beckwith]

Ridiculous article.

[IrishMike]

Maybe a ‘moonbat’ alert needed with that headline ?

[cubreporter]

so, what’s different about memos coming down to the media to say this or that? Go Cheney.

[RightWhale]

instructed the complaisant corporate media to sell

Even tinfoil salesmen are not stocking up for this one.

. In fact, the objective is to kill thousands of Iranian grandmothers and toddlers—as the Muslim and Arab-hating neocons are basically serial killers—and violently pitch the nation back into the Mesolithic.

Cheese it, folks - THEY'RE ON TO US!

[Andy from Beaverton]

Shouldn’t the site be called, “The Daily UnIntelligence”?

What a total assclown this author is. Any author that spends their entire column name calling has about as much credibility as the original Gonzo journalist himself.

[Freee-dame]

The left starts a rumor and then spends the next week, month or year discussing it. Too bad we are no good at squelching such rubbish.

[Mr. K]

Count me in...

We need to send a clear message that we have had it with islamic fanaticism

“it will be coordinated with the American Enterprise Institute, the Wall Street Journal, the Weekly Standard, Commentary, Fox, and the usual suspects.”

It’s absolutely breathtaking how the left complains about media bias, while ABC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, NBC the NYT, the LAT, PBS, Time, Newsweek, et al., peak coyly from its pocket.
