White House Sets The Agenda

This is an interesting observation. Some years D-Day anniversaries and Pearl Harbor anniversaries are completely ignored by the mainstream media.Tomorrow is the 74th anniversary of "Pearl Harbor." The 74th is not the 75th or the 50th or the 100th, and yet there is all kind of coverage for the 74th. One has to ask why.

I am convinced that the White House works hand-in-glove with mainstream media to set the agenda for what will be presented to the American public. At a time when President Obama's foreign policy is going sideways, what better way to get Americans' attention elsewhere than to commemorate the US servicemen and servicewomen. My hunch is that the White House -- earlier this year -- let the mainstream media know that the Pearl Harbor anniversary this year would be important to cover.

I don't have cable television. Let me know if MSNBC covers the 74th anniversary of Pearl Harbor. If they do, I know I'm right. If Rachel Maddow covers the 74th anniversary ...
