Pulitzer- Winning Investigaion Silenced

CommonDreams.org posted Glenn Greenwald's latest article entitled, The Pulitzer-Winning Investigation That Dare Not Be Uttered on TV. Greenwald does a great job explaining how the biggest news organizations chose not to include information about the investigation, while finding time for the other pulitzer winners. David Barstow's investigation revealed that many military analysts, presented as unbias experts, shown on network news during and in the lead up to the Iraq were were co-opted by the Pentagon and had "undisclosed" ties to companies benefiting from the policies they supported. Very crazy that even Pulitzer winning journalism can be ignored by the mainstream media when it goes against their own interests. A perfect example of why there is a need for more independent journalists.
