<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The media is part of the government...

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Every time I hear about the media and the government in the same topic, I start hearing the song Dirty Laundry. One group is as crooked as the other. I understand the Freedom of Information, but there are reasons that some if not all of these meeting or briefings between diplomats are classified. Besides, I haven't seen or heard of one News Organization or Journalist that even knows what true and honest reporting even is. Much less the definition.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Can you imagine anyone coming to the table with us knowing that we would air everything. Unfortunate Necessity. As far as knowing about operations, I worked on Prairie Fire/El Dorado Canyon for Several Months before we Bombed Libya in 86. Hell No and I have no problem employing OPDEC to protect OPSEC.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Sorry, "Need to know basis". And they don't need to know. OPSEC.<br /><br />Pretty much unheard of these days.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Absolutely NOT...hence the word "SECRET" <br />Besides nowadays, the mainstreamed media does everything to "shape" the news, rather than report it in its "pure" form.
