Booman Tribune notes The Daily Telegraph’s role in pushing pro-war propaganda during the Bush years.

This should not be surprising. Even Martin Newland, a former editor of the paper, noted back in 2004:

“I soon came to recognise we were speaking a language on geopolitical events and even domestic events that was dictated too much from across the Atlantic. It’s OK to be pro-Israel, but not to be unbelievably pro-Likud Israel, it’s OK to be pro-American but not look as if you’re taking instructions from Washington. Dean Godson and Barbara Amiel were key departures.”

Barbara Amiel is the wife of the disgraced former owner of the Telegraph Conrad Black. More important to Booman’s observations of the Telegraph’s role as a conduit for propoganda is Dean Godson — his activities have been detailed by Spinwatch.

Update: More from Septic Isle.
