The Media and the Military Mindset
Melvin Goodman | counterpunch.org | 2020-01-22
U.S. national media have been lazy in their treatment of our military–pandering to the military itself and using retired general officers with ties to the military-industrial complex as spokesmen. The United States is largely in an arms race with itself, but the media typically ignore bloated defense spending. It is past time to reinforce Martin Luther King's address to the Riverside Church in 1967 that linked chronic domestic poverty and military adventurism.
