But that will likely not satisfy media critics who have been raising the alarm about the increasingly close relationship between the military and the media. Among other things, critics point to the relatively recent practice of "embedding" reporters within military units as a sign that the military wants to shape the nature of news coverage.

In 2008, the New York Times caused a firestorm of controversy when it reported that the Pentagon had been running a program that used retired military officers as a way of planting its talking points in the news -- what the Times described as a "media Trojan horse."

And, as Yahoo!'s Cook notes, in 2000 a Dutch newspaper reported that CNN had allowed psyops officers to operate in its newsroom "for a short time." The newspaper suggested that the soldiers' presence "could have influenced CNN's news reports about the crisis in Kosovo."
