Chomsky (dig around on http://www.zmag.org/weluser.htm) and others have commented on this quite a bit.
If you want to hear it from the horse's mouth, I suggest you read some of Vin Suprynowicz's columns, or his book, _Send In The Waco Killers_. He's been a working journalist for decades, and so can describe first-hand how this process of co-opting journalists works.
