If it's not the government, who coordinates the media so that they all tell the same story?

The Ministry of Information answers to no one. Is it inconceivable that THEY, not the gummint, could be setting the agenda? If the "government" is coordinating the media, why can't conservatives in government, or anywhere else for that matter, get fair coverage?

The media is a powerful entity in its own right; might they be giving marching orders of their own by establishing the parameters of a story? Not saying it's so necessarily, just looking for someone to convince me otherwise.

Iraqi Military Officers in OKC and Lincoln,NE

"As made known to the CIA, were the following, among other details: That George Herbert Walker Bush, as President, at the close of the Persian Gulf War, 1991, arranged to bring into the U.S. some four thousand Iraqi military officers, some from intelligence units, and their families. Some 550 of these officers became residents in Lincoln, Nebraska, AND TWO THOUSAND OF THEM took up residence in Oklahoma City. In a watered down story, CBS' "60 Minutes" Program did a segment once on this about Lincoln, Nebraska but said NOTHING about the Iraqi military officers in Oklahoma City.

The financial and other provisions for them and their families were arranged by the Elder Bush, and then quietly continued by Bill Clinton as President, and perpetuated by George W. Bush as White House "resident" and "occupant". The arrangements included financial subsidies, housing, and employment for the Iraqi officers.
