I will say that the difference was that when you\’re an Army journalist, as opposed to a civilian correspondent covering the military, you\’re very often either a Public Relations agent or expected to perform that role. I would say that one of the most unexpected benefits of that job was being taught to never try to cover anything up, but rather to get any bad information out right away, so that there would be nothing more to come out later. This was a wonderful lesson to be taught because often the effort to cover up a story becomes a bigger story than the original one. – Clarence Page

Keep in mind, the news media are not independent; they are a sort of bulletin board and Public Relations firm for the ruling class-the people who run things. Those who decide what news you will or will not hear are paid by, and tolerated purely at the whim of, those who hold economic power. If the parent corporation doesn\’t want you to know something, it won\’t be on the news. Period. Or, at the very least, it will be slanted to suit them, and then rarely followed up. – George Carlin
