The military industrial media complex is an offshoot of the military industrial complex and is characterized by the General Electric-NBC company.Organizations like FAIR have criticized the military industrial media complex for using their media resources to promote militarism which benefits the defense resources of the company.General Electric is a subcontractor for the Tomahawk cruise missile and Patriot II missile both of which were used extensively during the war[1].General Electric also manufacters components for the B-2 stealth bomber and B-52 bomber and the E-3 AWACS aircraft which were also used extensively during the conflict. During Gulf War I, General Electric received $2 billion dollars in defense contracts related to weapons which would be used in Gulf War I. The late NBC reporter David Bloom (who died of a pulmonary embolism) was criticized for glamorizing the invasion of Iraq portraying it as a glamourous and exciting adventure [2] .
