first CNN (or was it NBC) giving a false story about rick rolling, now this.  older journalists suck at cross-checking internet sources am confirmed. 

The growing generation gap caused by the internet has been getting so fucking funny over the past couple years...

while this is not a surprise at all, it's still interesting to read that article and pretend the country in question is, like, China.

If it were China, the article wouldn't exist.

I MEAN AN ARTICLE IN THE US PRESS
ABOUT CHINESE MILITARY CONSULTANTS
APPEARING ON CHINESE TELEVISION

IN SUCH A CASE, IT WOULD APPEAR TO BE UNBELIEVABLE COMMUNIST PROPOGANDA

IT WOULD BE AN IRONIC COUNTERPOINT TO THE FACT THAT IT IS HAPPENING IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

the fact that you misspelled "propaganda" raises deeply troubling questions as to your credibility

What would be ironic is if you'd just become hungry for more propaganda an hour later.

Some of this has to be illegal, but in a "we never really enforce it, and you think we're gonna send those guys to prison?" way.

Also, it seems kind of inevitable once people in the government and military start thinking of the flow of information as one more aspect of the war strategy.
