DoD

There is an air force sergeant sitting to my right, a marine corporal to my left, and a former Air Force sergeant directly in front of me. This is my day. It's somewhat surreal. Ever heard of The Pentagon Channel? Probably not, unless you're in the military. It's a network that provides news and other programming for military personnel around the world. And for regular shmoes with Comcast or Verizon cable. That's my latest gig, as I bounce around the bleak and terrible world of broadcast media. I'm a contract employee for the Department of Defense, and help produce the two newscasts that air on the network. Sadly, it's not a far cry from what I did at Fox. But now I'm getting paid to be an official mouthpiece for the propaganda machine, instead of a closet voice hidden behind the transparent curtain of "Fair and balanced". At least the equipment is state-of-the-art.
