Pentagon rules fake news program legal, again
The Pentagon’s Inspector General decided that the US military didn’t break any laws when it planted pro-American stories in the Iraqi press. Last year it was revealed that the Pentagon paid a start-up company called the Lincoln Group millions of dollars to plant stories and pay for favorable coverage in the Iraqi press.
This marks the second time in the last year the government has investigated and approved fake news stories as legal.
