The second of this two-part series examines why so many journalists are keen to cooperate with – and parrot the key messages of – the intelligence agencies
Great two part article. The point about the Russian clamp down on 'journalism' explained in context. 400 seems to be magic number for running journo-spies in foreign countries. Didn't the UK FOC with Reuters and the BBC have 400 Russian media assets tasked with promoting a 'pro-NATO' narrative and weakening their country?
Excellent as usual. I learn so much from you. I know also that it is well researched and trustworthy. It is truly shocking how the truth is being denied all over. Thank you for revealing what you do.
"Miller, who it was found had special Pentagon security clearance, had been fed stories by US intelligence agencies. She had acted as an uncritical conduit for CIA disinformation that was then repeated by other major outlets. "
This set up a jolly little merry-go-round.
The CIA would pass on a false story to the press, which was then picked up by the TV morning news broadcasters.
The TV news programme would then interview a politician or military expert on the matter, who would cite the newspaper story, giving credence to the story and validating it in the mind of the public.
There is an excellent documentary, which I believe is still available online but sadly I cannot remember the title. Will provide information if I can find it.
