Can anyone tell the difference between these two "news" channels?
Watch a few clips from the government's official propaganda channel, www.pentagonchannel.mil, and then compare it to Faux or "Certainly Not News" CNN.

I still can't tell the difference...

1. Dish Network is planning on carrying the Pentagon Channel
as part of public interest programming. I wrote them a letter stating I would cancel the service if they carry this channel

3. I thought it was going to be a 'pay channel'...............
or 'subsciber channel', not part of the regular tier. I may be wrong, probably am.

5. No, it was never going to be a pay channel
It was always designated to be part of standard cable.

2. Tomorrows Programing...It's Like This-
There will be two news channels left. Lets say Fux, channel 1, and the Pentagon Channel, channel 2.
On Fux there will be 24-hours of government propaganda, (sort of like it is now). Then when you turn to channel two, there will be Donald Rumsh*t telling you to turn back to channel 1!
