    1. The information of the article came from NBC News, Fox News, and CNN.
    2. Sitting through the programs, maybe?Interviews with the station personally and obtaining writtten statements.
    3. The news media was manipulated I guess… through using the quotes to support the information in the article.
    *Note: Answers are probably wrong, I really don’t know, but if I answer while smiling then it should be. :)

    It came from major news stations that covered the story.
    It was obtained from journalist quotes, interviews, watching the programs, etc.
    The media was used as a source as it was the most informed.

    P.S: My brain is dead, I can’t think anymore

    the bulk of info came from several news stations (fox news, cnn, and nbc). it was obtained by perhaps the journalists notes or by simply copying the recording of the news program.

    the news media was manipulated by turning tv into paper work maybe into a “quick” summary

    P.S amalia says the truth :’-(

    It was probably obtained from the emails that the New York Times sued the pentagon for. Media was manipulated because the military analysts were biased form the start

    1. Where did the bulk of the information in this article come from? How was it obtained?
    2. How was the news media manipulated in this story?
    1. It was obtained through interviews and behind the scene information. In addition the New York Times sent a law suit dealing with e-mail… for a long time the media has been manipulated especially for about 4 or 5 years. People who are no longer part of the army need a job after it right? Therefore they get contracted to advertise military weapons. Every time they go on air they were “told” not to be objective but have a point of view.
