And you didn't think there were gatekeepers

The NY Times' article Message Machine from April 20 was a result of tons of hard work I'm sure and shoe leather to find out that the Pentagon was creating contrived spin in the media about the Iraq war. There are several surprising notions in the story but according to the Project for Excellence in Journalism’s News Coverage Index survey not many other media outlets cared too much.

If it had been about Jack Black revealing the Brangelina twins news it would have spread like wild fire. Oh wait, it did.
