Simple Solution to a Simple Problem: Pentagon Lies

The US defence department has set up a new unit to better promote its message across 24-hour rolling news outlets, and particularly on the internet.

The Pentagon said the move would boost its ability to counter "inaccurate" news stories and exploit new media.
Link. (The shame! This story comes from the BBC! Where's our American Big Media on this??)

Actual problem: The lies are not coming through to the satisfaction of the delusional wingnuts in charge.

Solution: Every journalist must correctly parrot the Pentagon line, making it clear that what they report are not facts, just what the Pentagon claims. The story is not what the Pentagon claims, the story is the Pentagon's claims.
