Soldier Propagandist (Bushit interviews a Propagandist)

[IChing]

I don't know if this was posted

Intrepid MediaCitizen reader "lebkuchen" Googled the ten soldiers who went before Bush and the cameras on Thursday and found another GI who didn't pass the smell test.

I've dug further into the history of First Lieutenant Gregg Murphy of the 278th Regimental Combat Team and found that there's more to Murphy than meets the lens. His pro-Bush rhetoric is sprinkled throughout the media in articles dating back to 2003.

This begs the question: how could one soldier get so much face time?

Was Murphy like the other soldiers, giving Americans a frank assesment from the field -- as Scott McClellan claimed at his White House press briefing Thursday -- or could he be part of a larger scheme to stack the media deck with seasoned propagandists and spin the war to Bush's favor? Let's review the evidence.>>>>>snip

1. ......So

First Lieutenant Gregg Murphy is another of George W. Bush's plastic turkeys.

2. A Joseph Goebbels type turkey

Here's an another sample of Murphy in action, from a 2004 Lee Pitts story:
Recruiters said their biggest promotional tools are combat veterans returning from Afghanistan and Iraq, who are helping bolster the ranks by tapping into the South's tradition of patriotism.

Lt. Gregg Murphy, of Chattanooga, is one of about 4,000 soldiers with the 278th Regimental Combat Team now in Iraq. He said in an e-mail that he would jump at the chance to "set the record straight about Iraq" by telling "the real story of soldiers, not the blood, guts and carnage."

He said returning soldiers could counter the media's focus on the losses in Iraq by talking about ongoing humanitarian work there such as new schools, libraries and water projects."

3. Murphy and Flax political propagandist pictures

I wonder if they are also involved in psy-ops but are not listed as that in their

title.
