Early Warning by William M. Arkin - washingtonpost.com: "the Army has hired PR firm Hass MS&L of Detroit to offer 'exclusive editorial content' to blogs willing to run government propaganda."

"The Army believes that military blogs are a valuable medium for reaching out," account executive Charlie Kondek has written to a number of pro-military blogs in a January 6 Email.

"To that end, the Army plans to offer you and selected bloggers exclusive editorial content on a few issues you?re likely to be interested in," Kondek says.

"Hass MS&L's claim to fame in the blogging world as far as I can tell is that they maintain the General Motors' corporate blog. Did the Army have to hire the PR firm for a dying corporation as its new agent?"
