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.[Citation | last =Solomon | first = Norman | title = The Military-Industrial-Media Complex | date = July/August 2005 | url = http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=2627] General Electric also manufactures 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 and Gulf War II.During the early phases of Gulf War II, NBC reporter David Bloom was criticized for glamorizing the invasion of Iraq portraying it as a glamorous and exciting adventure because he and NBC portrayed a sterilized image of the battlefield without the horrible sight of death. ][Citation | title = PBS Archive: Media Coverage of the War | url = http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/middle_east/iraq/war/media_special.html] ]ee also
