I’d like to illustrate just how the liberal media misinforms their readers/viewers. First, take a look at this article in the WaPo entitled, “Government Probes at Least 7 Defense Contracts for Charities.” Here’s some excerpts.

John Murtha, D-Pa? Of course not. Why should you? No where in this article does it even mention the name of John Murtha.The federal investigation of contracting arrangements between the Pentagon and tax-exempt defense firms in Pennsylvania includes multiple deals that go as far back as 2002 and involve more money than was previously known, according to documents obtained by The Washington Post.
The FBI and the Pentagon’s Defense Criminal Investigative Service issued subpoenas two months ago seeking information about a small intelligence firm called Commonwealth Research Institute, or CRI, and its parent company, Concurrent Technologies. Both firms are registered nonprofit charities based in Johnstown, Pa.
Concurrent (CTC) was established two decades ago and has almost $250 million a year in revenue. Most of its research, program management and other work is for the Pentagon. It also has received more than $226 million in congressionally directed funding known as earmarks in recent years. CRI is a little-known subsidiary with a handful of employees, several of them working as intelligence consultants to the military.
