Well, yet another sad step towards total government control. The Pentagon thinks that some may be manipulating the media, especially on the Internet, to their own ends. Therefore, it's the Pentagon's job to 'correct messages' and 'respond to inaccurate statements.'
To me, this seems more like an effect to clamp down on free speech on the Internet and to skew it towards a favorable view of the U.S. government. Sorry, Rummy, but it appears that world and domestic public opinion is against you. Being unpopular is not an excuse to intimidate people in order to make them change their opinions, which I'm sure is what this new department intends to do, ever so insidiously.
1984, here we come.
