During the Vietnam war the American military tired and failed to control the media message with daily afternoon briefings yet it was a complete failure. In the run-up to the March 2003 invasion of Iraq the U.S. Department of Defense (the Pentagon) decided that they could only the media message was by creating "embedded journalism" thereby fully controlling the narrative. an example of this are Japanese press clubs which have existed since the 19th century giving the government at all levels the means of censorship without seeming to do so. In the UK Rupert Murdoch's media empire which includes the Sun, The Times of London and the now defunct News of the World control over Britain's political through intimidation, extortion and blackmail. Returning to journalism in the U.S. the mainstream media has become so dependent upon those they cover that objectivity no longer plays a part in their reporting. Its all about access and inside information.
