"Truth Tour"

Patterson was a member of the "outing" which "brought right-wing talk-show hosts to Iraq" in 2005 to "tell 'the good news that the old-line liberal news media won't tell you about"—and which was the creation of the Republican Party-affiliated public relations firm Russo Marsh & Rogers (RM+R), Aaron Glantz wrote July 31, 2006, for Inter Press News Service. The "tour" was "sponsored by the newly created Office of Media Outreach, a taxpayer-funded publicity arm of the Department of Defense," Marie Therese reported for News Hounds.
