FAKE NEWS...Whatever Happened to Lincoln Group Investigation

Everyone has their panties in a knot over FEMA's fake news conference...who cares? Would seem to me, that everyone should be far more interested in what happened to the Lincoln Group and the fake news stories coming out of Iraq. Surely America's memory is not that short? The pay offs to Iraqi reporters to write pro-American fake stories about how well things were going in Iraq, the companies rags to riches success, and the $100 million dollar Pentagon Special Ops contract they won...surely that deserves more attention that the deal being made over the FEMA screw up?

FEMA official heads to intelligence office amid fake news conference flap

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Nearly a week after the Federal Emergency Management Agency held a fake news conference, the man who led its public relations office will begin work Monday as the director of public affairs for the director of national intelligence, a DNI spokesman said Sunday.

Ross Feinstein, a spokesman for the intelligence office, said FEMA External Affairs Director Pat Philbin was offered the job "well before" a Tuesday news conference where agency staffers lobbied questions to the agency's deputy administrator, Vice Adm. Harvey Johnson, on the raging California wildfires. Feinstein declined to say whether the office -- led by National Intelligence Director Michael McConnell -- was reconsidering the appointment.
